[FOX SPORTS FLORIDA] Samuel Dalembert talks about Houston as a top choice

If we sign Dalembert and then we can keep Chuck as well, that is not bad at all. Nene is just too expensive for this team who is not going to complete for a championship. Dalembert was playing well last time against Rockets, he can play, and would not cost too much.

 

Sign him to a short term contract. I do NOT want anything disrupting 2012.

 

i thought I read a twitter feed that said Dalembert gained some weight......

 

Dalembert to Houston

According to Bill Ingram at Hoopsworld Dalembert is set to be a Rocket. He gives no reference though as to amount of money, or lenght of contract.

no like. Check my sig. Boo Morey.

 

No more Nene?
Welcome Cato 2.0

 

So... the meeting didn't go well with Chandler? Hopefully he got paid with a lifetime of free meals from Yao and Clydes restaurants.

 

This is Bill Ingram we're talking about here.

Also, if he's going to post random rumors he should at least not copy paste entire sections of text so that they appear in the article twice.

 

anything from Bill Ingraham has to be taken with a boulder of salt

 

This was the realistic expectation. Hope we didn't overpay, and they should bring Chuck back just in case.

 

hahah! seriously, right? bill is such a pessimistic homer with a job to write about it. its weird

 

If we got him for cheap I think it's a lot better than us overpaying Nene or Chandler. Gross still. Hopefully he's eying some more pieces.

 

Ahhh, poopsworld with an unpresidented scoop.

 

most likely Ingram just used this Chris Tomasson tweet without attribution and pretended he had a source

I hope we do get him. It's not like we have that many options. and he is a pretty good center. people need to stop complaining. i'm sure we won't overpay him

 

Relax guys, it's from Bill Ingram. And in any case, Dalembert is a decent consolation prize. He can control the glass, play effect post defense, and protect the rim adequately enough.

 

Seriously?!Is he the only free agent who wants to come to Houston?

 

As long as we didn't pay much more than MLE for him, I'm ok with Dalembert. I'm hoping 7 mill average or less.

 

Why?! If the Rockets are trying to rebuild, Dalembert would only take minutes away from the young "assets."

 

No more than 1 year deal I hope! But how credible is this?
