Rockets to re-sign their free agent guard Francisco Garcia to a two-year deal paying $2.6 million, a source tell Y! Sports.

Cost efficient, looks like he taking a discount by half.

EDIT: MORE THAN HALF, read it wrong wow. Big Discount

 

[Colonel Nasty]

Oh shit. Called it, welcome back Cisco!

 

[thekad]

The Wizard.

How can one so deep into analytics, have someone with a coaching style like McHales...

McHale was the only one who would let Morey put his replacement on the bench. Chris Finch will be our next HC. Plus McHale was a selling point for Dwight.

 

[victreeb3l]

how much was he making last season?

knicks wanted this dude too but guess no more. morey is just too good.

Good resign.

I liked Garcia last year. Will be a good role player and he really did take a discount.

 

[darkside31337]

Dwight Howard's four-year, $88 million maximum contract agreement with the Houston Rockets will include an early termination option after the 2015-16 season and a 15 percent trade kicker, league sources told Yahoo! Sports.


great.

 

[MorisUkunRasik]

An ETO after 3 seasons sheesh.

 

[reggieandTFE]

He nets more money in Houston due to taxes. Not saying he did it for the money (Houston has a much better roster) but enough of this "left money on the table" crap

The endorsement potential has to still be significantly higher in LA than Houston. I mean, he'll be able to hang out with George W Bush and a bunch of rich oil barons, but it's no Hollywood.

 

[Red Blaster]

lulz dwight's getting another big contract after this one

it's why la's 30 million was never a thing

 

[Colonel Nasty]

I wonder if we can bring back Del3no too.

 

[Dominican Power]

I wanted him on the Knicks. : (

Is he 100% healthy? I haven't heard about his recover since his bad injury.

Mavs in pursuit of Bynum? Tell me Brandi's ok guys.

He's banned. Also had a pretty hilarious meltdown last night in a certain irc channel.

 

[SamuraiX-]

Not quite sure why anybody is excited to have a 32 year old broken down Cisco on their team, but for only $2.6M for two years I guess wouldn't complain either.

I would have liked to have seen that.

 

[ph33nix]

I'm going to guess that Brandy calling another country a bunch of barbarians will get him banned at least 2 weeks

It's too bad Bynum the Maverick will happen before that

He played his role well last year. Was pretty big for us in the playoffs too.

He was anything but broken down in the playoffs and he is a tremendous locker room presence, not to mention a class act. I knew he wanted to come back to Houston but they got him for much less than he was worth.

Did you even watch him on the Rockets last season or against OKC?

 

[SamuraiX-]

NNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

I hate you, reilo. ;_;

Was really hoping the Kings would grab him... Can we at least try for AK-47 now?

 

[dream]

wow Lakers players lol Also I dont usually defend Howard and this is childish as hell, but Kobe started it lol

Tough talk from someone named "Jodie." And his last name is "Meeks!" Is there a more feminine name than Meek Jodie?

 

[ph33nix]

FUCK

there goes my D-Wright and D-Wade reunion

 

[reilo]

Portland finally has some SF depth.

HPbasketball: How in the hell did Portlnd get that deal? There was a legit bidding war for him.

Give him a full season.

He'll disappoint you soon enough.

And he's not worth anymore than $3M/yr at this point. I am surprised to see him take half that much though.

 

[ph33nix]

I am still convinced to this day that when Dorell Wright gets the chance that he'll be like McGrady in his prime

 

[Forever]

Basically every teammate he has ever played with has sung his praises about how good he is for chemistry and morale. The Rockets will be getting their money's worth for that alone.

It would break my heart to root against him and some of the other Rockets players if they see the Nets in the finals.

Kelly OlyNewYorkKnicks?

Fake account.

You're telling me that, of all the people in the world that one could pretend to be, someone chose to impersonate Jodie fucking Meeks?

 

[jjasper]

There was a bidding war for Wright but I think that bidding war was about 4 teams saying "we have a MLE come play for a playoff team" where as Portland offered more.

[ryutaro's mama]

- Kobe is probably the most beloved Laker ever and his fans would revolt

HOW THE FUCK DID YOU ALL MISS KONEX SAYING THIS?

Only Kobe's most delusional fans think he's the "most beloved Laker ever".

Shit is amazing.

$3mil is far below the MLE though.

Oh I miss read I thought it was 2 years at 6 million each not 2 years 6 total.

Might as well call him the Kobe parrot

Yeah, $6mil total for 2 years. That's why everyone is so surprised.

It's Konex. We have been dealing with this for years now lol

 

[shira]

Damn Calderon was Plan B

 

[giga]

Crazy world indeed.

This is the standard celebrity response when they fuck up. PR 101.

 

[curlyfriski]

Yea his mid-range does need work, as shown here, but his biggest issue is the amount of 3's he shoots. That needs to be cut to three attempts per game and then take those shots into the 3-9, 10-15ft range for a floater/jumpshot off a pick n roll. Also, that 5.7(at the rim) needs to be be in the high 6's, low 7's. Him learning to play closer will go a long way into getting that FG% way above 43%. Dwight is gonna be huge for his game as long as he doesn't settle on 3's.

FG% is a bad stat. His TS% is .600, which is around where KD and Lebron were until they became godlike this season. He's already crazy efficient for a high volume scorer.

lol I'm a big Kobe stan but no real Laker fan would put Kobe above Magic. I guess it's my age or something.

[B.O.O.M]

Yes finally some good news after some silence for the Blazers

 

[santeesioux]

The Blazers will actually have a decent bench if they can add a decent third string pg and maybe a Jermaine O'Neal.
