I checked On rockets.com and he's still not on the roster I'm a ya confused why we waived Lin to free the last roster spot but still nothing... Anyone care to shed some light on the situation...
they put the dalembert interview backup up so I doubt its that http://www.nba.com/rockets/video/2011/12/23/ZOOM0002MOV-1943909
rockets.com gets the roster from the NBA. The Rockets don't manually update roster online. According to Feigen's latest tweet, Dalembert signed last night and is at shoot around. Unsure if he will play or not tonight.
Do you know why the Rockets left the signing so late? Were they trying to negotiate a 3 yr deal, work a S&T, or trade for one of the Kings many vet forwards as cover for Patterson?
@HoustonRockets Houston Rockets Rockets make it official: Samuel Dalembert signs with Houston http://www.nba.com/rockets/news/rockets_sign_free_agent_center_2011_12_23.html
I don't know why I didn't realize this guy was 30yrs old... Should be still in his prime but I thought he was a bit younger.

Thanks for the link, finally signed! He better be ready tonight but I'm not as optimistic about this signing, he's out of shape and looks fat! Damn, he was much slimmer last year w/ Kings.
Hopefully he can play tonight; though I've heard he wasn't in the best of shape. With DH12 already looking like he wants to call it quits, we may just be fine with Hill and Thabeet. Also: Will really tick me off if he wears #11. C'mon man, really?
