Bobcats extend offer to Rockets forward Landry

MJ Does Houston a Favor
Hardwood Paroxysm — ... The Bobcats signed Carl Landry to a 3-year, $9 million offer sheet. But the whole situation just reeks of weird. Not that Landry isn't good, because he obviously has great command over a skill that is highly valued in the league. And the $3 million per is probably slightly higher than the "reasonable offer" from Houston that Landry has mulling over for awhile, so I can definitely understand why he would be on board. But from the 'Cats perspective, is the gamble even worth it? Or the real question: is there any chance at all that the Rockets don't match? Probably not. ...

I can only assume: Welcome Back Carl Landry!
The Dream Shake — If the deal is really 3 years and $9 MM from the Bobcats, then I think we can safely rest assured that the Rockets resident GM genius will be matching it. And seriously, the third year is a team option? That makes it the perfect contract. It's not too expensive, will put the Rockets close, but possibly not over the luxury tax threshold and Landry gets what he wanted, he didn't have to do the knee MRI. Really it's a win all the way around for the Rockets and a no lose situation for the Bobcats. ...
