    I guess now we know why he was waiting around...it was a 6 year deal. Weren't people here speculating it was $12mm over 4 years?

    Even despite my best efforts to artificially inflate my post count with the dreaded "Look at me" Double Post?

    This reeks of conspiracy.

    Guess we didn't learn our lesson from Matt Maloney. 6 years for a freaking backup PG?!?!?!?!

    Man this is more Moochie then you can shake a stick at! And roughly 3.5 to 4 million per year is a tad bit high, but the contract is way to long for a backup PG. There better be a team option in the 3rd or 4th year!

    It comes out to about $2.887 mill the first year (assuming there are no signing bonus's in it), which isn't bad for what Moochie brings to the team. I like the trend that the Rockets have been showing of signing their key players to 6 year contracts. This shows a committment to keeping the core players together for a long time & creates stability in the rotation. Way to go Rockets. :)

    Well the price per year isn't bad then! :) The length worries me a bit, but Mooch is in, so lets get Jackson in and get to the playoffs! :)

    lot of years for a back-up. is this final or speculation? i don't moochie will get nearly as many minutes this year. I don't think Rudy will be so quick to go to those bs lineups since he has a legit 3 now

    As much as I like Moochie, I think I would've rather seen what a much cheaper Damon Jones could've done this season.

    Does Norris' signing basically mean Jones is cut or on IR? Or is there still a spot for the guy on our squad?

    If they don't put him on IR, I wouldn't be surprised to see them trade him for a future pick, after his trade restriction ends.

    IMHO 6 years is to long.
