Tony Dutt, Anderson's agent, said he informed the Rockets of Anderson's plans, and he expects Anderson to join the team this week. Anderson was released by the Portland Trail Blazers as part of the NBA's amnesty program. He met last week with Rockets coach Jeff Van Gundy. Dutt said that was a pivotal meeting. "I think he loved the fact of the team concept, and he's gonna earn every minute that he plays," Dutt told Houston television station KRIV. Dutt told the Houston Chronicle that Anderson agreed to a two-year deal, the second of which would be at his option. The Rockets could only offer $1.67 million because of the salary cap. Dutt said the decision wasn't about money, but about the right opportunity.
