In the HOUSTON CHRONICLE, Fran Blinebury writes "The Rockets extended a qualifying offer to restricted free-agent forward Carl Landry on Sunday. In his first season out of Purdue, the 6-9 Landry averaged 8.1 points and 4.9 rebounds in 42 games. According to the NBA's collective bargaining agreement, the qualifying offer establishes the Rockets' right of first refusal. Restricted free agents may sign an offer with any team, but the Rockets have the ability to match any offer to Landry."
