The Rockets intend to keep Tate, a person with knowledge of the team’s thinking said. They did not make qualifying offers to center Bruno Fernando or on the two-way contract of forward Trevelin Queen. Anthony Lamb, who also had a two-way contract, is also a free agent.

The Houston Rockets never officially picked up Jae’Sean Tate’s $1.8M team option. And they ended declining his option today. Tate will now be a restricted free agent on July 1. – 3:52 PM
