Rockets sign Brad Miller as Yao’s backup

Personally, I’m excited about this deal. Miller isn’t in the same category as Chris Bosh, but he’s a solid backup to Yao, and highly coveted given there weren’t really many other options out there. Daryl Morey must have done a great job fending off other offers, I’m sure. Miller’s history with Rick Adelman in Sacramento surely helped.

You can read more about Miller’s 3-year deal worth $15 million at the Chronicle.

This all comes after the late news Thursday that the Rockets signed Luis Scola to a 5-year, $47 million deal. And earlier in the week they matched the Cavaliers offer sheet for Kyle Lowry.

That makes 15 guaranteed contracts for next season. The Rockets are now locked and loaded!
