Luther Head's numbers don't look right. I don't think rookie contracts last 5 years. (Unless the last two years include a qualifying offer/extension).
If you follow the hoopshype link, you'll see that those last two numbers are in different colors and represent the team option and qualifying offer.
For the amount of money Bob Sura makes it seems like we should have been able to make him have some articial knees put in...he could be rehabbed by now! (hey he's gonna need em some day) Can we get some kind injury allowance for him? At least with Charlie Ward, you can have him show up at the Tux 'n Tenny's dinner with his Heisman.
Imagine this bob sura, ryan bowen, mutumbo, chuck hayes, charlie ward, will all be gone. thats about 9 million if we choose not to resign any of them.
Rocket front office, what can I say: wood go to Spurs for one year then come to houston and can not play and get paid. Trade MJ to Raptor and now want him badly. The result always is not good.
