Chuck Hayes won't sign with Rockets

After Chuck Hayes and the Rockets said in July that Hayes would likely accept a partial guarantee on veteran minimum contract worth roughly $1.5 million, the situation changed for Hayes in Houston.

“I think when we came up with the agreement, after that point, they had some other activity, the Ty Lawson trade, the Jason Terry signing,” Hayes agent Calvin Andrews said. “That put Chuck in a precarious situation. The result of that squeezed him out of the equation."
