Chuck Hayes Won't Sign With Rockets, Pursuing Other Teams

Aug 27, 2015 12:03 PM

Chuck Hayes will not sign with the Houston Rockets for the 15-16 season as expected.

"Due to limited roster flexibility and other financial considerations, Chuck Hayes will not be signing with the Rockets as previously announced," wrote Calvin Andrews to Yahoo. "Chuck is very interested in continuing his playing career although he has received multiple offers to accept NBA coaching/front office jobs.

"Chuck's near future plans are to go into a coaching/front office career, however, Hayes has spent a lot of time preparing and training for this upcoming season. Many observers have said he looks in better shape than he has in years.

"Chuck and his agents are exploring if there are other teams interested in him playing this year."

Jason Terry Agrees To Re-Sign With Rockets On $1.5M Deal

Aug 19, 2015 10:40 AM

Jason Terry has agreed to re-sign with the Houston Rockets on a one-year, $1.5 million contract, league sources tell RealGM.

The New Orleans Pelicans and Utah Jazz also had strong dialogue to sign Terry with his agent, Byron Irvin. Ultimately, the opportunity to win and cohesive recruitment from Rockets players and coaches pushed Terry to return. Terry has played an immense role in the Rockets' locker room, becoming an integral role player in the 2015 postseason alongside James Harden in the backcourt.

Terry averaged 21.3 minutes per game in 77 appearances last season with the Rockets and started all 17 playoff games. The Rockets acquired Terry during the 2014 offseason from the Sacramento Kings.

Terry turns 38 in September and is entering his 17th NBA season.
