    [rQUOTEr]HOUSTON - Houston Rockets general manager Daryl Morey acknowledged Thursday he is in negotiations with free agent center Samuel Dalembert.

    The Rockets have been working the free agent market to add an impact big man to their roster.

    ...

    "We have interest in Sam," Morey said in an interview with FOX 26 Sports. "If it makes sense for him and us, we would love to have him.

    "It's in negotiations. Between the two of us looking for a fit. He's got a lot of options and we'll see if it makes sense here."

    ...

    "I think he's somebody who could add presence in the middle, rebounding, shot blocking that could help us out," Morey said.

    "That said I think our young guys are some guys that could develop and give us that as well."

    Doesnt appear like they're going to offer him a lot of money. With that last sentence, it's like he's saying if he doesnt sign, oh well...

    Congratulations to those who were against the Gasol trade. I'm sure you'll like this signing much better.

    This is a signing I would love for the right price. I think the ball is and has been in Dalembert's court. I think he just wants too much money..

    Dalembert would be a huge upgrade at center so that's something.

    I say we offer him ~$15 million for two years with a TEAM OPTION NEXT YEAR and only guarantee him ~$6 million. I wouldn't mind doing that at all. With the Chuckwagon gone, we need someone that has some type of experience playing at C..

    hahaha YES! He was horrible! At least Dalembert will protect the rim and make players change their shot. Brad Miller played Center at the free throw line. :eek:

    price is irrelevant - its about length of contract! Price just dictates how much Les is gonna haveta pay in tax (if any).... length of the contract is the concern... dont want an overpriced Sam clogging our payroll for next seasons free agents - which is why I was against Nene...

    We can only wish, but if Kwame Brown can get $7 mil for one year out of GSW, you only can imagine what Dalembert will want for a one year deal here.
