Carl Landry's agent is upset with Daryl Morey:

Carl Landry's agent is upset with Rockets' GM Daryl Morey for requesting test results on the forward's right knee before entering contract negotiations with the restricted free agent.

"Obviously, I view it as a move on (Morey's) part to undercut his value and dissuade the interest he has garnered,'' Buddy Baker said. "The reverse has happened. Teams have taken the position that he will not match offers. That has opened the floodgates." It does appear the plan has backfired, as Landry might not feel as strongly about staying with the Rockets as he did initially. And according to Landry and Baker, the knee is fine.

Who can blame Daryl Morey for playing it safe. The Rockets have been plagued with too many injuries the past few years.
