Porter Jr. becomes a free agent: The media directly refuses to sign the old player, and the Rockets full middle class can be left for the top 8 aid

On June 29, Kevin Porter Jr. refused to execute his 2.5 million player option next season and he will become a full free agent, according to a joint report by Bucks reporter Eric Nehm and Fred Katz. Porter Jr. averaged 11.2 points, 3.6 rebounds and 5.4 assists in 30 minutes in the playoffs. He performed well after being traded to the Bucks on the trade deadline.

Kevin Porter Jr. is an old Rockets player. He has played for the Rockets for more than two seasons. After he became a free agent, a large number of Rockets fans feel that Kevin Porter Jr. can sign Kevin Porter Jr. back because Porter Jr.'s offensive + organizational ability is what the Rockets need.

Resident media Bradeaux directly wrote: If you want to ask me to re-sign a former Rockets player, I will choose Eric Gordon. (This shows that he does not want Kevin Porter to return)

The Rockets once reached a four-year, 82.5 million early contract renewal with the Rockets in the summer of 2022. As a result, after the Rockets played for one season, they were traded in the summer of 2023. His contract was only fully guaranteed in the first year, the second year was partial guaranteed, and the next two years were not guaranteed, and there were more than 15 million in incentive clauses. In the end, he was traded to the Thunder and was laid off. This contract only received 15.8 million a year.

The Rockets are now a brand new Rockets team, Jaylen Green has been traded, and the dual cores of the Silas era have become a past trend, so it is normal for the media to be unwilling to eat the meat of the repot.

The Rockets' full middle class worth 14.1 million will definitely be left to the characters who need it more. ESPN believes that Luke Kennard, Jack Laravia, Brandon Carlson, Oscar Chibway, Gary Trent Jr., Alec Burks, Bruce Brown, and Tim Hardaway Jr. are all good choices.
