best move of the year! this guy needs PT! look at his stats: he leads the team in FG%, rebounds (per 48), and even steals (per 48).
He deserves it. JVG needs to give him more of JHOs minutes next year. If we draft a PF, I would dump SS the next day.
i wonder if this means we have something in place for jho or stro show. why lock up a third power forward when we're spending $16MM on two? i hope so...
I thought Barkley decided to come out of retirement for a second there. Hayes is a nice energy type of player. He deserves a shot.
Good move. Chuck is one the guys that actually works for their contracts. He may not see all the PT in the world but there is always room for depth IMO.
Actually it is not a big deal. They must have signed him cheap so they can cut him anytime they want. But I wish Chuck all the best. He deserves that opportunity.
They would have experimented that last season, but they didn't. So there is little to no chance he plays at SF.
When they first announced they signed Hayes last year, they said he signed a 1 year guaranteed deal, with a TEAM OPTION at a 2nd year. I believe they said his first year was worth $246,000 and his TEAM OPTION 2nd year was worth $486,000. So all they did was simply pick up his team option for this year. Lampe also has a team option but it's very doubtful they would pick it up.
Nice scoop - thanks for posting it. Press release came out about 5-10 minutes after it... http://www.clutchfans.net/news/1322/rockets_sign_chuck_hayes/
