Robert Horry wants to return for one more season with the Spurs or... Rockets?

Horry told Houston television station KRIV that he doesn't want to retire. He also says he knows he could have had a better season last year.

Horry is set to become a free agent July 1st. He turns 38 in August.

Horry says he'd like to return to the Spurs, where he spent the last five seasons. If that's not possible, then he would like to head for the Houston Rockets -- where he played his first four seasons.

Rockets 2008 NBA Draft results:

The Rockets originally drafted Nicolas Batum with the 25th pick in Thursday's draft and then traded him to Portland for the No. 27 and 33 picks. The Rockets later traded pick 27 for Memphis's 28th pick. The Rockets ended the draft with Donte' Greene of Syracuse (28th pick), Joey Dorsey of Memphis (33rd pick), and Maarty Leunen of Oregon (54th pick). It's an interesting choice in moves by the Rockets GM Daryl Morey, but you gotta feel pretty good about it.

Rockets, Wizards Ready to Swap?

The rumor circulating this morning is that the Wizards are interested in an instant impact player who can help Caron Butler, Antawn Jamison and Gilbert Arenas win immediately. The Rockets have that type of player in Luther Head, who was labeled as "no longer untouchable" by the Rockets at the end of the season. As for Houston, they had Courtney Lee in for a long session with everyone - and I mean everyone - in the front office so the team could get a good feel for who he is as a person. And Lee did not disappoint.Assuming all goes as planned, and with so many picks in play to so many different places that's not a given, the Rockets will send their #25 and Head to the Wizards for the #18 pick. The thinking is that 18 will be high enough to get Lee, who is a lock to go to Orlando if he's still there at 22. The Wizards would then simply draft best available with the 25th.

Personally, I hope this isn't true. I think the Rockets could get a better offer.

Yao Ming says the stress fracture in his left foot is 80% healed:

X-rays and an MRI taken in Houston on Tuesday showed his recovery was on schedule, with the foot about 80 percent healed. The remaining 20 percent usually takes a full year, Yao said. "In terms of being basketball fit, the only way to do that is to play games," Yao said. The Rockets jus have to hope that Yao doesn't rush back to soon trying to play for China in the Beijing Olympics.

T-Mac's secret baby momma awarded $54,000 a year in paternity case:

Apparently this is what caused the rough time T-Mac was enduring a couple years ago during the All-Star break. Looks like someone did a good job keeping this covered up until now. The Herald Tribune has even posted a link to the court papers. I was going to post the link, but as a Rocket fan I believe this is better left alone.
