The Rockets plan to re-sign forward Luis Scola this summer.

"He will be back," general manager Daryl Morey said.

Morey added that Houston owner Leslie Alexander wants Scola back as well.

"Leslie gave us the resources and said whatever it takes," Morey said. "He's back"

The forward was happy to hear the general manager's comments.

"I was happy (to hear Morey's comments)," Scola said. "I know they like me. I know they want me to stay. But the process is not that simple. It's not they want me to stay, I want to stay, it's done. I'm optimistic. But just like they will do whatever they have to do, I will probably do what I have to do.

"I want to be here. I like Houston. But there are a lot of things to talk about. I'm a professional. I've been playing around the world. I'll do whatever I have to do. I want to be in Houston and I want to be in the NBA, but if I have to go, I'll go to another team in the NBA or another team around the world."
