Trae Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 If we don't sign him, then peace. Have fun playing in the pits of the Eastern Conference Landry! And we need just one big Rockets thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karick42 Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 I was really impressed by his hustle and determination. He would definitely help the team coming off the bench or as a sixth man but the more I think about it the more I realize that they don't HAVE to have him. They made some decent additions this year, additions that they needed to possibly take them to the next level. I certainly hope so because it was sweet watching the streak last year. Toyota center was rocking! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProHouston Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 It stinks that we'll have to pony up this much extra money, but I think we need to. Carl Landry will be a star in this league and could really help this team. I think we'll end up matching the offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Great Hizzy! Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 Right. They didn't waste any time either. This was a case of the Rockets front office not wanting to sign him for too high and too early or insulting Carl with a preliminary low-ball offer. $3 million is a bit more than what they (Morey and staff) would've prefered (probably somewhere around $2.2 - $2.5 mil per year if they had their way) but it's not an absurd contract either (which is why the Rockets matched the offer so quickly), and most importantly they don't have to use any kind of exemption money to pay him, which is great.The Scola / Landry combo at PF was fun to watch the final 50 games of last year. I'm not sure they keep Hayes as well, but if so we have a lot of depth at the position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wernicke Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 I'm glad Landry is coming back... he is a great player, and adds a ton of much needed energy. Hope his knee holds up.And this is a great team, with essentially everyone returning PLUS Ron Artest in a contract year.All it could take to get us deep in the playoffs is Yao (and McGrady) staying healthy.

Karick42 Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 It's good to know that we have this kind of team assembled here in Houston. They will really be exciting to watch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
