The Rockets are set to begin their season soon, as the pre-season begins for them on September 30th. The team has 14 players on the roster, and the NBA allows each team to carry up to 20 in training camp. With this many spots available, the question has to be asked of whether or not the team should have signed more players off of their Summer League roster, especially considering the fact that they could be added through the Exhibit 10 clause.
Any player signed under the Exhibit 10 clause will not have his salary count against the team’s payroll in the off-season, which is beneficial for a team like the Rockets who are close to paying the luxury tax.
