The Houston Rockets have picked up their $7.6 million team option for Jae'Sean Tate. The Rockets are expected to operate as an over-the-cap team this offseason, and Tate could be a potential trade chip.
In 65 games last season, Tate averaged 4.1 points and 3.0 rebounds in 15.9 minutes per game last season. His role was significantly reduced as the Rockets turned to younger players at the forward and wing positions.
