The Rockets will keep Jeff Green, Jock Landale and Jae’Sean Tate for the 2024 offseason

As the NBA Draft begins Wednesday night, general manager Rafael Stone will begin revamping the Houston Rockets for the upcoming 2024-25 season. The Rockets will have the third overall pick and could add to their impressive roster. However, whoever they draft, the new prospect will struggle to find minutes with the Rockets’ rotation.

According to Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle, the Rockets are bringing back Jeff Green, Jock Landale and Jae’Sean Tate. Each player has an option on their respective contract. Feigen added that the Rockets have told multiple teams they plan to keep Green, who has taken the helm as Houston’s top veteran during the 2023-24 season.

A source told Inside the Rockets that backup point guard Aaron Holiday will “probably leave” after one season with the franchise. Holiday will seek a larger role before his seventh season, which would require him to leave Houston in free agency.

In 76 games played with the Rockets, Holiday averaged 6.6 points on 44.6 percent shooting from the field and 38.7 percent from behind the arc. He began the 2023-24 season playing a vital reserve for the Rockets. However, the emergence of Amen Thompson rendered Holiday useless in the second half.

Holiday began his career as a first-round pick in the 2018 NBA Draft by the Indiana Pacers. He also played for the Atlanta Hawks, Washington Wizards and Phoenix Suns.
