Last season they got a brief look. This summer they've had their eyes opened.

Liking what they've seen, the Rockets signed point guard John Lucas III to a
three-year contract on Friday.

"We had him with us for a 10-day contract and then a little longer and liked
what we saw in John," said Rockets general manager Carroll Dawson. "Then he
played for us in the summer league and showed tremendous progress. We think he
has a future in the NBA."

The former Oklahoma State star, who attended Bellaire High School, averaged
just over eight minutes in only 13 games with the Rockets in the 2005-06 season
and struggled at times to fit in, especially with his shooting.

But when Lucas joined the Rockets' entry in the Las Vegas Summer League earlier
this month, he was a heady, confident player who could get — and make — his
own shots. He also distributed the ball well, averaging 23.4 points and 7.6
assists in leading the Rockets to a 5-0 record.

Following his Las Vegas stint, Lucas drew interest from at least a half-dozen
NBA clubs. But his emotional ties and the focus of his interest were always in
his hometown.

The Rockets also went a step further than other interested clubs, who wanted to
sign him to a two-year contract. They used money they had left over in their
mid-year exception to give him a slightly higher salary in his first season and
then made the deal for three years total.

"We like John and we see him as a project," said Dawson. "For that reason, we
wanted to be able to keep him for a third year."


所以我們正式和JLIII簽下一筆三年的合約了，雖然合約內容沒公布，但是由於是三年的合
約，因此不是底薪，預計會使用到一部份的中產。

所以JVG的shopping list上的三個pg已經有了，會丟三分線的pf也找到了，接下來還有什
麼交易呢？

→ york47c:250萬簽下Jumaine Jones，再用後場或4.2M TE交易PF
→ york47c:畢竟250萬能找的到PF，能發揮多少作用很不確定。
