The Rockets began free agent recruiting period with an 11 p.m. call to Spurs
guard Brent Barry, but the team could have already hit a snag in its hopes to
bring back forward Carl Landry.
The Rockets called Barry as quickly as NBA rules allow in an effort to land
the free agent that got away during the season when Barry was released by the
Seattle SuperSonics but chose to return to the San Antonio Spurs.
Barry, 36, struggled to come back from a calf injury after he was dealt at
the trade deadline, but made 49.1 percent of his shots and 46.3 percent of
his 3s in the post-season. He averaged 7.1 points in 17.9 minutes, making
48.1 percent of his shots, in the regular season, in his 12th NBA season.
If he signs with the Rockets, he would follow his father, Hall of Famer Rick
Barry, and brother, Jon Barry, who both finished their careers with the
Rockets.
Signing Landry, the Rockets other primary free agent target might be more
complicated than another chase of Barry, or even last summer’s sticky and
eventually contentious negotiations when Landry was an unsigned second-round
pick.
The Rockets have asked for Landry to undergo more in-depth testing of his
right knee, which was injured during the season, before they would extend an
offer. Landry, 24, missed seven games with what was termed a sore right knee.
He averaged 8.1 points and 4.9 rebounds in 42 games, making 61.6 percent of
his shots.
The Rockets signed Landry just before the start of training camp after a
long, often tense negotiation over the amount of money that would be
guaranteed in his rookie contract. The Rockets had planned to sign him to a
three-year deal using a portion of their mid-level exception, but instead
spent they remainder of their exception money to sign Steve Francis.
Landry is a restricted free agent, giving the Rockets the option to match any
offer he receives, as long as the contract would work with the salary cap
rules. That would limit them to their mid-level exception money. They hope to
use the lower level exception, worth roughly $1.9 million, for Barry.
“We’re only making an offer if he gets a more detailed examination than
imaging,” Rockets general manager Daryl Morey said.
Morey did not say that there were specific concerns, only that the team
wanted as much information as possible before making an offer.
Landry’s agent, Buddy Baker, did not return messages on Monday.
The Rockets did avoid free agency with their 2006 first-round pick, Steve
Novak. They exercised their option to extend Novak’s contract for a third
season, worth $797,581. Novak averaged 2.7 points in 79 games in his first
two seasons.
“Steve is a valuable asset to the Rockets,” Morey said
大意就是火箭打算提供Barry一份合約。Morey說關於Landry的方面,球隊希望Landry對於
他去年受傷的右膝蓋提供一份詳盡的評估報告,如果沒問題的話火箭會對Landry提供一份
合約。還有Novak的最後一年team option球隊也撿了。
看來暑假火箭打算拆MLE分別給洗衣店和Barry了,聽說Horry應該也會到火箭。Moery在選
秀婊了馬刺一次,現在又打算挖他們的牆角嗎?XD
