Led by general manager Rafael Stone and armed with a league-leading figure of more than $60 million in financial room beneath the NBA’s 2023-24 salary cap, the Houston Rockets are expected to be very aggressive on the market once 2023 free agency negotiations can officially start at 5 p.m. Central on Friday afternoon.
That aggressive strategy involves in-person meetings in Los Angeles, widely viewed as the league’s unofficial capital, to chat with various free agent targets and their respective agents.
