Reggie Bullock should not return to the Rockets

The Houston Rockets are having another successful offseason, selecting Reed Sheppard in the 2024 NBA draft and trading AJ Griffin just before. Even so, there are several other decisions to be made when it comes to free agency – which begins tonight. Not only does Houston have the opportunity to sign free agents, but there are also members of last season’s Rockets roster that decisions need to be made on.

With that in mind, Kelly Iko of The Athletic reported Sunday that veteran wing Reggie Bullock is unlikely to return to Houston in free agency. Although he is not expected to land a big payday, several playoff teams have expressed interest in his services as a sharpshooter.

Last season, in 44 games with the Rockets, Bullock averaged just 2.2 points and 1.7 rebounds per game while shooting 40.3 percent from three-point range. In a backcourt crowded with young talent, developing the promising prospects in front of him was a priority all season. Bulock heading elsewhere in free agency makes sense for both parties.

Free agency officially begins at 5 p.m. CT, as teams around the league look to upgrade their rosters ahead of the 2024-25 season. Houston isn’t expected to be as active as it was last summer when it signed Fred VanVleet and Dillon Brooks, but there are still signings that could be made.
