3 weeks until training camp / will landry be signed by then?

Question: If we sign Landry to a bigger contract then expected will we have money to sign Artest next year? (lets say Landry finally gives in to do the knee inspection and all goes well) Do we have expiring contracts next year? (according to a salary cap roster Franchise and Butler and Reed ((last two wtf?))

 

i dunno about that, i remember hearing in a interview and artest said hes been underpaid his whole career, sounded like he wanted the $$$

 

I remember when everyone was high on Landry juice during the regular season, and all I could think about was trading him for someone like Jose Calderon (any proven rookie/sophomore). I knew he would remember his rookie contract fiasco with Morey.

I still think more than $2.35 million/year is overpaying him. Morey should add a player option the third year if that's what it takes to get Landry signed. We'd basically be signing him for 2 years if the knee is a non-issue, or 3 years if we never see the old Landry again. 3 years, $7.35 million with a player option his third year.

Or 3 years, $8.73 million with a team/qualifying option the third year. $2.91/year is overpaying him, but if that's what it takes to lock him up for three years, then I'm all for it, Morey.

Yea, I was wondering what he was talking about.

definitely~

 

I still think a healthy Carl is worth more than 4 mil/per. And most probably, Artest won't be here with us next season. Pretty much the only scenario where he stays is that he fits right in, no chemistry problems at all, and we get at least to the West Conf. Finals.

 

To bad we don't know if is healthy or not.

Also, if Artest was to help get us to the WC or better yet championship series (win or lose), you can almost guarantee yourself that Morey will pull something out of his but to keep Artest.

 

I couldn't care less if Landry isn't signed, i was real high on him but he is close to useless and the 2nd round pick we drafted when his knees are in bad shape.

 

This is funny... I know a girl who gives carl landry lap dances, he is staying in houston for sure according to her. Its just a matter or time until they have a contract.

I also saw rafer alston out and about at a club, nice guy. He had a designated driver this time (his designated driver was drinking, but atleast it wasn't rafer).

 

It's getting nearer to the training camp and still no news on Landry, Deke and Dorsey. This is absolutely disappointing.

 

Which is only because Scola is severely underpaid. A Power Forward with his talents is worth more than 3 million dollars (and you have to think about the amount he paid to buy out his contract at Tau). See Nene for God's sake. And he's supposed to be Denver's savior? Aw c'mon.

 

Still no news i'm so sad....

 

This seals it. He's staying for sure

 

seriously, 8 more days until training camp. **** better be happening.

 

I hope the Rockets can reach deals with both Landry and Dorsey quickly, but the team has to make do with the peices they got.
