Rockets extend qualifying offer to Courtney Lee http://tinyurl.com/7qlajbx The Rockets extended a $4.3 million qualifying offer to guard Courtney Lee on Friday, ensuring he will be a restricted free agent to allow the team to match any offer sheet he receives, a person with knowledge of the move said. Friday’s step was expected. Rockets general manager Daryl Morey has said the team intends to keep Lee, 26, as a free agent, but he will be able to attract offers greater than the qualifying offer necessary to keep him a restricted free agent. The Rockets also will begin the process to sign last season’s first-round pick Donatas Motiejunas. Motiejunas must first complete the paperwork on his buyout in Europe and then receive FIBA clearance from his previous team before he can sign with the Rockets. The process is expected to take no longer than five days, allowing him to report to the start of summer league training camp July 8. The team also picked up its non-guaranteed options on guard Courtney Fortson and forward Diamon Simpson on Friday. Both are expected to be part of the Rockets summer league team, along with this season’s first-round selections, Royce White, Jeremy Lamb and Terrence Jones, last season’s top pick Marcus Morris and Motiejunas. Thursday’s trade for the draft rights to second-round pick Furkan Aldemir was completed, with the Rockets sending cash considerations to the Mavericks as part of their trade with the Jazz and Clippers. Aldemir, a power forward from Turkey, is expected to remain in Europe for at least one more season. 根據消息，火箭 extended C.Lee 的 qualifying offer （430萬美元），同時也開始 準備簽下去年的一輪新秀 Donatas Motiejunas，預計五天內會完成一些程序，包括買斷他 在歐洲的合約，確保Motiejunas可以趕上7/8開始的夏季聯盟。 Courtney Fortson 和 Diamon Simpson也都被火箭留下來，這些菜鳥們都會在夏季聯賽 出席。 今年關於第二輪的交易已經完成，火箭在一個四方交易中把現金送給小牛，得到 Furkan Aldemir這名土耳其大前鋒，不過他將會繼續在歐洲打球。 -- █ █ ███ █ █ █ ████ ████ ████ ████ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ ████ █ █ █ █ █ █ ██ █████ █ █████ █ █ █ Ｘ Japan THE LAST LIVE ▉▊▋▌▍▎▏ http://barkleyc.blogspot.com/ --
