    This was to be expected.

    Both Courtney Fortson and Diamon Simpson have team options, but the second year is NON-GUARANTEED!

    This means that the Rockets can trade Fortson (and, if his option was also picked up, Simpson) on draft night, since players with yet-to-be-exercised team options cannot be traded.

    I also could simply mean that the Rockets don't mind keeping Fortson around as a third PG.

    Don't know about this guy's other post but kind of hard to put a positive spin on this news ...hopefully just trade fodder

    So, basically you get to "double dip" on the decision for his salary: once now at the "options" stage, and once later when you decide whether to guaranteed his salary (and I'd imagine that decision deadline is significantly later).

    Pretty sure he's non-guaranteed and will be cut before the season.

    The reason we picked up his option is because he could have and still might come in handy as a trade filler.
