Jason Terry could leave the Rockets for a free agent contract with New Orleans

Jason Terry, the first Rockets starting point guard to reach the Western Conference Finals since Matt Maloney, could leave to play with Anthony Davis and the New Orleans Pelicans.

The Rockets have likely offered Terry a veterans minimum contract, a significant pay cut from his $5.8 million salary last year, and according to MyFoxHouston's Mark Berman, the JET thinks that's insufficient. Berman also reports the Pelicans, trying to accumulate veteran leadership for a deeper playoff run next year, have made Terry an offer.

The Rockets have 13 players under contract right now, and for weeks we've been operating under the assumption that the final two roster spots would be occupied by Terry and Montrezl Harrell, who remains unsigned (and remember: second-round picks usually get contracts, but not always).
