What will the Rockets do with their free agency money on Friday?
Where Amen Thompson and Cam Whitmore will fit into Ime Udoka's plans will become clearer after free agency.The Rockets enter free agency on Friday with over $60 million in cap space to spend on veterans they want and need to balance out an incredibly young roster. Coach Ime Udoka means to put his stamp on this young team and GM Rafael Stone will try to figure out the best way to wisely spend money to make that happen.
It's the first free agency period in quite some time that the Rockets have had a ton of money to spend and there is a decent free agent class out there to choose from. Who they can attract will be a question, but money can help make up for the losses some of these guys will face coming to Houston.Udoka's calling card is tough defense and preparation. It makes sense then that players like Brook Lopez and Dillon Brooks are allegedly high on Udoka's wish list.
