The Rockets waived forward Mike Harris on Wednesday, the deadline to place players on waivers before their contracts would become guaranteed for the remainder of the 2009-10 season.
The Rockets could sign Harris to a 10-day contract once he clears waivers, but with Budinger back, might look to keep their last roster spot open, as they had before Budinger was hurt.
?Right now, I'd be OK with it,? Harris said of signing a 10-day contract with the Rockets. ?I really like it here. I enjoy being around the guys. I know in due time an opportunity's coming.
?You never know what is going to happen throughout the course of an entire season. Guys sometimes get hurt, or have situations. You have Carl with fake teeth, things like that. It's a business and I've learned to handle adversity every time it's come my way. It's just another stepping stone, nothing I'd get down about or discouraged. I just have to keep working harder.?
