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. Houston would still be able to access the full non-taxpayer midlevel exception, which has a projected starting salary of $12.9 million and a max value of $55.3 million for four years.

This puts us at what, 13 rotation worthy players on out tram next season assuming we make no trades.
It seems like we are moving toward our first big trade this off season.
Definite trade signal. Pretty much no other reason to pay Landale with Adams in the fold.
Even if it doesn’t lead to a blockbuster though, there’s not much opportunity cost to keeping the contracts around when we’re operating well over the cap and paying FVV. Next summer is the season to avoid unnecessary salary.
Brooks/ Tate / landale / 3rd and a Brooklyn pick back to Brooklyn for bridges and filler
God just get Tate off this team that’s all I ask. Keep everyone else, trade Tate and Jock if you have to
