But why release Gerald Green? They must not believe Green is going to help in any way. Love Mike Harris though....LOVE HIM !! Here is the article.. ---------------------------------------------------------------- With surging rookie forward Carl Landy out for tonight’s game against the New Orleans Hornets, the Rockets moved quickly to shore up the thinning ranks of their frontcourt. The Rockets signed former Rice forward and fan favorite Mike Harris, who impressed in training camp this season, to a 10-day contract, releasing guard Gerald Green to make room on the roster for Harris. Landry has developed swelling in his left knee and will be evaluated further. He bruised the knee against Indiana on Wednesday, but played the next night in Dallas with little difficulty. “We’re making this move because of concern about tonight,” Rockets vice president of basketball operations Sam Hinkie said. “We’re making this move because Mike Harris is someone we’ve always liked. We need live bodies, and he’s more than just a live body.” The Rockets also signed center Justin Williams to a 10-day contract on Friday. But without Landry – who has averaged 13.8 points on 68.4 percent shooting since Yao Ming went out for the season – the Rockets could be very short-handed in frontcourt scoring, with only Luis Scola considered a scoring option at the power forward or center positions. “(Harris) is a guy we’ve liked for a long time,” Hinkie said. “We thought played very well for us. He brings a level of energy, toughness and athleticism and we like his rebounding. Our coaches always liked him and are very positive on him, as well as was the staff on basketball ops side. We targeted him, as someone that we if needed help, he’d be on the top of the list.” --------------------------------------------------------------- DD
Read the article... He has some swelling in his knee that he bruised against Indiana. Probably just a precautionary move to let it rest and evaluate him.
it better not be like tmac where we thought it was "nothing" at first and it turned out to be a pretty heavy bruise. i don't trust the rockets medical staff anymore.
If they cut green what was the point of giving up a second round pick? Synder couldn't have been making that much more than green.
So, does Gerald Green Really suck that much, or do the rockets have some kind of wink wink deal to resign him next year.
very suprising... poor green. but what the hell? landry? why didn't he just sit out the next 4 games not this one. damn... we lose yao N.O lose West we lose landry.
I am more concerned about the game tonight. This will not make up for the loss of Landry, not even close.
