The Houston Rockets are in the final leg of what has been a very disappointing season. If it were to conclude today, last year’s Western Conference finalists would be watching the playoffs at home. As such, they will need to take some time and evaluate who they have worth keeping and who should walk.
They could do a roster reboot this offseason, as they potentially have eight free agents: Dwight Howard, Corey Brewer, Terrence Jones, Donatas Motiejunas, Josh Smith, Jason Terry, Michael Beasley and Andrew Goudelock.
Based on salary information at Spotrac, if general manager Daryl Morey were to simply let everyone walk away, the Rockets would be bound to $38 million in guaranteed salaries.
Throw in cap holds, and it would add roughly another $3-4 million, depending on where they draft, if they draft at all. Should they make the playoffs, according to RealGM, they would relinquish their pick to the Denver Nuggets as a result of the Ty Lawson trade last summer.
They can rebuild around the talents of James Harden by bringing in better fits, because some potential free agents aren't worth keeping.
