[Fox 26] Rockets to Sign James White through 2009-10

Wow, Morey and the crew must of saw something in him...

2009-2010 Slam Dunk Entry for the Rockets....JAMESSSSSSSS WHITEEEEE!

 

Giving a guaranteed contact through 09-10 sounds premature,but I don't think management has much to lose over a minimum deal.

 

He'll put in his dues at the end of our bench too, but Morey's got a great track record now, 3 out of 4 with Brooks, Landry, and Wafer paying dividends within the year they were acquired. The book on Dorsey is still out, but it's not looking too good at this point. Finally, V-Span, you don't count. That was a Mulligan, which eventually turned into a Scola.

So good luck White, don't let us down, and most importantly, don't let MOREY down! He's got a standard to maintain...

 

Wafer Insurance secured.

 

The rockets are trying to get young and athletic. No more novak's and ryan bowen's on this team even though i like bowen's effert when he was here but i would rather have someone that can jump out he gym and take it to the hole. Rockets game should be big attraction in the next few years.

 

Good move. The kid showed glimpse of promise in the game against Twolves. Albeit it was garbage time against a inferior team, I was somewhat impressed by his shooting ability. That was a total surprise to me because he was advertised as a freakish athlete before that.
I think he must have done something really right in the practice to impress Morey and the Coaching staff. With the record that this coaching staff has done discovering relatively unknown young players, Kevin Martin in Sac; Brooks and Landry here, I think they must have see something special in White, which is good.

 

It didn't say his deal for next year is guaranteed.

 

I was assuming it was,if it isn't that's better because he will have to work for it instead of getting comfortable.

 

good job. one less thing to worry about in the off season.

and, another steal from san antonio!!!

 

Now, it's imperative that everyone understand that his nickname is "In Flight" James White. And, yes, he should challenge Lebron in next year's All-Star Slam Dunk contest. Perhaps, Von Wafer and James White could team up together. I believe Von competed in the McDonald's slam dunk contest vs. Lebron while in high school. Not sure who won. Would guess Lebron.

 

Good for him. I figured this would be the case.

Morey continues to collect talent.

 

Morey must have seem something in this kid during practice or in the locker room.

I'm happy for White. I hope he works his way into the rotation and makes an impact on all the games he plays.

 

Solid job.. Morey does it again, for the future, it'll be even better for us.

 

Say Harro two duh 2010 NBA Sram dunk contess weenuh James frrrriiight White!!!

I expect a shoe deal for this guy too.

 

I would like to see james white see some more time on the floor.

 

First Von Wafer, and now James White.

Rockets are doing a good job of picking up players who were considered trash and getting their heads in the right direction to become NBA players.

I wish they would release practice video so we could see what kind of a player he is.

 

Peak the dunk explosion. Peak ought to snatch this guy for representation if they are serious about the US market.

 

I think the Rockets are taking a flier on this guy due to the team's limited draft this offseason. They appear to be investing the care and cash that would normally go into signing a pick into White instead. Wish we knew what we had, but Morey/Adelman's track record on guys like Wafer, Landry, Brooks, and Lowry has earned some trust outta me.

 

Great news. Adelman and Morey obviously saw something in White. As somebody already mentioned: one less thing to worry about this offseason.
