Im just wondering. I dont think he will be cheap. He has all the tools to become a good player. His 6'9 240 can hit the mid range shot. He can get offensive boards. Has good of hops. and he can drive to the basket. I wont be Surprise if some team offers him 5-9 mill a year if they could.

No way in hell will teams offer a 2nd rounder 5 to 9 million a year.
Plus, he's NOT 6'9''. He's around 6'7''.

I think Landry will want to stay in Houston. We are the one who developed him, I think he will give us a chance, and we will still be a contender next year.

Is it even possible for him to be offered 5-9 million?
If he got a 6 million dollar offer, that would mean that he would be making more than Oden or Durant.
If that was possible, wouldn't all really good rookies just demand one year deals so that they could get a max deal in their sophomore year?

Before the knee thing popped up I would have thought the max offer he'd possibly get would be @ $3-3.5mil. The Rockets can't pay him more than Scola since Scola's the starter. I doubt anybody else would offer him the full MLE as most teams now tend to split it,w/@ $3-3.5mil to sign a Free Agent and the rest for emergencies,late season roster moves or to re-sign one of their own players.
But I truly expect him to get Chuck Hayes money-@$1.75mil,which is prob what the Rockets are hoping they can re-sign him for,maybe at 2 yrs. I expect him to get pd more in this range than the higher as he is vertically challenged,has not shown to be a shot-blocker or monster rebounder,hasn't cracked the starting line-up and hasn't shown the ability to beat his man 1-on-1.(Not saying he can't,he just hasn't shown it.) He and his agent were tough negotiators last summer,going to be interesting to see what they do this summer.
Another factor is there are alot of pretty decent F/As this summer and the restricted ones are esp good.

Based on CBA rules, the maximum other team can offer Landry is the full MLE for the 1st season, a standard 8% rise for the 2nd season, and any amount for the 3rd seasons onwards.

Whether rockets are willing to pay Landry the full MLE is another question but they will have the ability to match offer for Landry due to this CBA rule (also known as the Glibert Arenas provision).

yeah... him getting the full mle doesn't make sense. He'd get paid more than top rookies in the league in his 2nd year!

What teckon and trillest said.

We're only able to offer him the MLE this year. As such, no other team can offer him more than that.

according to what i heard..... a 2nd round draft pick has a cap on what he can be offered which the rockets will match because we'll be able to afford it........ so i'm not worried
