More on this storyline
Facing deadlines to reach decisions on the contracts of Jeff Green, Jock Landale and Jae’Sean Tate, the Rockets plan to keep all three under contract, a person with knowledge of the team’s plans said. They also are open to bringing back guard Aaron Holiday, who will be a free agent again this offseason, though that decision could be impacted by the draft if the Rockets add two smaller guards. -via Houston Chronicle / June 24, 2024
The Rockets have until Friday to exercise their option on Tate’s contract, worth $7.5 million next season. They have until Friday to waive Landale before the next season on his contract, worth $8 million, would become guaranteed. Though they have until July 11 to exercise their option on Green’s contract, they have also let teams know that they plan to keep Green. -via Houston Chronicle / June 24, 2024
All signs point toward the Rockets picking up the options on veteran forwards Jae’Sean Tate and Jeff Green, team sources said. This list also includes reserve center Jock Landale, even with the expectation Steven Adams, who was acquired in February, will be a sizable contributor next season. From a cap space standpoint, this would put the Rockets around $9.5 million under the tax threshold, according to The Athletic’s salary cap expert Danny Leroux. -via New York Times / May 21, 2024
