Rafael Stone could agree to a contract extension with the Houston Rockets this offseason, reports Marc Stein.
Stone was elevated to the top decision-maker with the Rockets front office in 2020 following the departure of Daryl Morey.
The Rockets jumped by more than 20 wins this season with Ime Udoka in his first season as head coach. Houston signed Fred VanVleet and Dillon Brooks last offseason while their young core developed in an encouraging way. The Rockets are expected to pursue their trade options this offseason, while also having extension decisions on Alperen Sengun and Jalen Green.
“All indications Stone is firmly entrenched at the heart of Houston’s decision-making,” writes Stein.
