Solid signing if they got him to agree to such a short term contract.

Funny, had just read earlier today that Sacto was nearing a deal to resign him.

2 years? I think I might have traded JO and Bradley to get Dalembert for two years in a sign and trade.

They withdrew that offer just before he agreed to sign with Rockets.

Good, didn't want him in Boston. Cares more about rebounding stats than he does about actually playing defense.

It's been great to see GMs sticking to shorter-term deals (on average) this offseason.

Sam Dalembert's 2-year deal w/ Houston pays $7M in '11-12, w/ team option for $7M in '12-13, sources say. If option declined, $1.5M buyout.

Great deal for Houston.  Denver has to be feeling a little silly for giving Nene all that money now, right?

Rockets were rumoured to have offered a very similar deal (big money like Nuggets) to Nene. He was going to get paid one way or another. Nets, Rockets, Nuggets...all wanted to sign him.

Plus, Nene > Dalembert.

Dalembert isn't the best player in the world, but how is he getting paid as much as Kwame Brown in the same offseason?

Smashing stuff for Houston. Really rounds out their lineup nicely.

This means two things for the Celtics :
- It'd be harder to get J.Thompson..
- Thabeet might be waived or amnestied, we can get him instead!

Wow, that really is a steal of a deal for Houston.  How did they manage to not pay the premium for the C position that everyone else is?

Thought he was going to be headed to Sac.  Don't they have to spend some money still to meet the miniumum requirement since Hayes was waived?  I wonder what they will do.
