Things didn’t work out well for Bonzi Wells last year. His bout of depression over the contract negotiation disaster that cost him $38 million in future salary lasted well into training camp, and as a result he never quite made it into regular season form, and eventually was forced to quit on the Rockets because he felt he was losing them games. His early season spat with coach Jeff Van Gundy didn’t quite help either.
A few months ago when the Rockets hired Rick Adelman as their new head coach, Bonzi was quoted as calling him a “Godsend”. Now, as players have started to work out in preparation for the upcoming season, sources have been quoted as saying Bonzi has lost 35 pounds. He exercised his option on the 2nd year and final year of his contract, which ostensibly means he’s planning on playing for some big bucks next summer, with the extra motivation of getting to play for his old coach. Great news for the Rockets, indeed.
