Updated Houston Rockets roster, salaries entering 2024 offseason

Unlike the 2023 offseason, when the Rockets went significantly below the NBA’s salary cap and splurged in free agency on marquee names such as Fred VanVleet and Dillon Brooks, Houston will enter the 2024 offseason with considerably more roster stability.

Most players on the 2023-24 roster are under contract or have team options for next year, and the February 2024 trade for Steven Adams adds another sizable veteran salary to the books. Thus, general manager Rafael Stone anticipates operating above the salary cap.

Those veterans (VanVleet, Brooks, and Adams) join Houston’s young core of recently drafted first-round prospects: Jalen Green and Alperen Sengun, from 2021; Jabari Smith Jr. and Tari Eason, from 2022; and Amen Thompson and Cam Whitmore, from 2023.

Here’s an updated look at the Rockets’ roster entering the 2024 offseason. Ages are as of Feb. 25, 2024, while salary details are from HoopsHype.

This list is sorted by 2024-25 salary, from most to least.
