Via Twitter, Yahoo! Sports Adrian\u00a0Wojnarowski reports the details of Dalembert’s contract with the Rockets:<\/p>\n

\n

Sam Dalembert’s 2-year deal w\/ Houston pays $7M in ’11-12, w\/ team option for $7M in ’12-13, sources say. If option declined, $1.5M buyout. \u00a0If the Rockets decide against bringing Dalembert back for year two of deal, it essentially became a one year, $8.5M contract for the center.Wed Dec 21 22:26:24\u00a0<\/a>and Wed Dec 21 22:27<\/a>\u00a0via web<\/span><\/a>Adrian Wojnarowski<\/a><\/strong>

 <\/p>\n

Fox Sports’ Chris Tomasson reported last night Dalembert was anticipating a return to Sacramento for a second season<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“If things work out, everything structurally (with the contact), it will be Sacramento,” Dalembert said in a phone interview with FOX Sports Florida from his Boca Raton, Fla., home. “It’s close.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

But Sports Illustrated’s Sam Amick says the Kings were caught off guard by Tomasson’s story<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The report was met with confusion from Kings officials, with everyone from owners Joe and Gavin Maloof on down saying there was no mutual understanding that he would return.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
