    Expected, I wish they would turn on the video and watch this dude play no D and rebound with the tenacity of a fly. Yes, he hits big shots in the 4th Quarter, I thought the idea was to earn your money 1st - 4th

    The topic in the offseason was titled, "Rockets Extend Head". The title got more play than the article.

    it's popping up on a bunch of wires, i think what happened was that they decided to do it over the summer and then made it official today (i believe there is like a one year period that the team has to do that which expires today/tomorrow)

    well it was not made official till today, I guess probably if he had suffered a career ending injury between the summer and the deadline to exercise the option (today) it wouldn't have been exercised.

    [NBA.COM] Rockets pick up option on L.Head.

    Updated a few min ago. Heres the link.

    http://www.nba.com/rockets/news/Rockets_pick_up_option_on_Head-241542-34.html

    And the text for you lazy's:)

    SALT LAKE CITY -- Luther Head will be wearing a Rockets uniform through the 2008-09 season.

    Beginning his third season in Houston, Head had his contract option picked up by the Rockets on Wednesday.

    The guard, who netted a three-pointer in a team-record 37 straight games last season, is expected to be a part of Houston's nine-man rotation this season. He shot 44.1 percent from three-point range last season -- good enough for the third best percentage in the league -- and averaged a career-best 10.9 points per game.

    Head is averaging 9.9 points and 2.6 assists over his career.
