In the regular season last season, Fernando averaged 6.9 points, 4 rebounds and 0.8 blocks in 9.4 minutes per game with the Rockets. The Rockets did not make a qualifying offer for Bruno Fernando , who will become a complete free agent.

The reason why the Rockets did this is also very simple. First of all, the team's rookies are waiting for food. Secondly, there is no advantage in height. He has no basket and can only play under the basket. The defensive effect is also average. Keeping him is far worse than training Garuba.

Meanwhile, the Rockets have declined to exercise forward Jessen Tate's final-year team option of $1.8 million, making the latter a restricted free agent.

Why did the Rockets give up the team option and instead sign a new, more expensive contract with Tate ? Most likely they are asking for advice, looking at the market reaction, and then signing with a suitable next player before trading.

There is another possibility. The Rockets management will feel that Tate is worth keeping, or they will not be able to exchange for someone of equal value or draft picks. But he is afraid that if Tate wants to get good data in the contract year, he will make more moves to affect the growth of young people, so he simply renews the long-term contract early and negotiates with him so that he can rest assured and do what he is good at, and assist Greensmith and others. core.
