Rockets sign Loren Woods to two-year deal

Woods has new deal

The Rockets reached an agreement with center Loren Woods late Thursday, signing the reserve center for the remainder of the regular season and postseason.

Woods, whose second 10-day contract expired Thursday, signed a non-guaranteed contract for next season, though portions of the contract would become guaranteed if Woods is still on the team at several dates during the season.

Woods has played 10 minutes in five games with the Rockets, making three of five shots and getting one rebound.

I am actually happy with this deal

he did not play much, but in my opinion he has potential

he moves very well with his height

30 year olds can have potential

He'll be a useful backup; he's a very good offensive rebounder, a decent enough passer and can stick a 15-footer reasonably well. He's not so awful that he can't be useful on a minimum contract. Good signing.
