Wafer fails physical; Rockets sign Harris
NBA sources told FOX 26 Sports the Houston Rockets plans to re-sign free agent guard Von Wafer fell through when Wafer did not pass his physical Tuesday night.
Sources told FOX 26 the Rockets may re-visit Wafer's situation soon.
With Wafer no longer an option the Rockets signed forward Michael Harris from the team's NBA Development league affiliate, the Rio Grande Vipers.
Well, so much for that. Welcome back, Mike Harris!

When we traded Robert Horry?
I forgot who we traded him for, some team from the Northeast, but the guy we wanted failed his physical so we kept Horry for the rest of the season & playoffs & finals. And won.
I’m tired and rambling…
There were no bad choices on your poll.
Honestly, I’d like to see more of Jermaine Taylor. Very surprised Wafer failed the physical. But I like Mike Harris, and hey, why not one more undersized guy? Hasn’t slowed Houston down so far.
(bowing down in awe of your greatness)
Scott, I will never doubt you again. Promise.

Just curious...
what is this physical exam comprised of?
Perhaps an attitude test?
that Wafer failed?

Why, oh why
Does everyone love wafer so much? He’s not Tmac, so you can’t excuse his immaturity. He plays no D. I guess hell have a few good dunks but that’s about it.

he's attitudes in the game last season
lights up the floor. his face expression after hitting the 3s…. he’s nowhere close to T-Mac in terms of floor productions (I compare them as they are in the peaks, so don’t go off on me at this one…); he’s very excited to watch, and entertaining….. Who wears the Mohawk better than him? CrazyPills, the faker?
anyway, Mike Harris deserved the chance, hope he can show up & get some floor time. he been pushed out of the lineup many times.
yes, Bud, get your ass up, we some smooth shooting…
don't bully me, i am from the D(etroit)!!!
Isn't a few good dunks enough?
But then there’s the Von Hawk. And we can call him Baron Von Wafer. Also, he’s really lightning fast, and can also shoot pretty well. Yes, he’s streaky, not prone to defense or passing, and can be high strung. But deployed properly Von is a pretty awesome weapon to have off the bench.
With the exception of Benedict Ron...
I’m pretty sure a whole bunch of folks wish they were on this squad. As long as they can be team players, I think the genius of Morey along with the Adelman system can excel Rockets TEAM ball just like Larry Brown did with Detroit back in the day.

Yes. Larry Brown sees the jews in rough rocks
from Shed, Hamilton, Billups, big Ben… (plus Prince & others)….
and the 2004-06 teams play as a team. one of them will step up at any nite….. all are starless-stars…. hmm…… that sound so familar……..
don't bully me, i am from the D(etroit)!!!
my bad. "Jewels" typo. i don't meant to offend anyone.
if i do, i apologized.
don't bully me, i am from the D(etroit)!!!
You didn't with me
I’m Catholic. I just thougt it sounded pretty funny. An obvious typo.
I play real sports...Not try to be the best at exercising.
good question!
how bad of shape you have to fail the physical??!! i am thinking the Rockets had 2nd thoughts about signing him, as many point out, Budinger only be out for 2 weeks, no point of signing Von when Mike Harris deserved the chance.
don't bully me, i am from the D(etroit)!!!
I don't think so
I don’t see the Rockets saying “Yeah, Von, come on down to play for us, here’s a contract…oh wait, never mind!”. I don’t think they really operate that way.
I mean, yes, I suppose you can see some sort of Machiavellian angle, but my guess is that something is wrong with Von.
moreover
I like to think that doctors have better ethics than that. Of course, given their behavior elsewhere, I suppose that’s a poor assumption to make.
