After surprisingly declining his $1.8-million team option for 2022-23, the Houston Rockets re-signed Jae’Sean Tate in July to a contract worth up to $22.1 million over three years. The 26-year-old’s new deal could run through 2024-25, though with the final year being a team option, 2023-24 is the last fully guaranteed season.
It was a twist many around the NBA didn’t see coming, since Tate will now be paid more than $5 million more in the coming season than he would have been under his original deal.
