Houston Look to Blast Things Away in NBA Basketball
The Houston Rockets, after a disappointing season, are looking for reinforcements.
When the Houston Rockets report for the annual physicals and team meeting leading to the start of training camp, they expect to officially add a former Rockets player, Scott Padgett, a heralded new player, Bonzi Wells, and greet four players who will not be with them when the month ends.
With the additions of Padgett and Wells today, the Rockets will bring 19 players to camp. Padgett, Matt Haryasz, Casey Jacobsen and Kelenna Azubuike are going to camp with non-guaranteed or partially guaranteed contracts.
Padgett and Wells are expected to sign different contracts but under similar circumstances. Both chose the Rockets after failing to find the free-agent options they sought.
Scott Padgett was released by the Nets after one season. Though Houston Rockets coach Jeff Van Gundy often said he was missed last season, Padgett will need to play his way on to the roster.
''He's coming to camp,'' Rockets general manager Carroll Dawson said. ''He has a little bit of an inside advantage because he was with us.''
Bonzi Wells will sign for the remainder of the Rockets' mid-level exception after agreeing to the deal last Wednesday.
Can the Houston Rockets win the 2007 NBA Finals? Here are some outright odds from Sports Interaction on who will do just that.
