On Saturday, the Houston Rockets announced that they have re-signed Danté Exum who they acquired in a four-team trade from Cleveland last season. He was originally the fifth overall pick by Utah in the 2014 NBA Draft.
Over the past four seasons, Exum averaged 14.0 points, 4.9 assists, and 4.3 rebounds per 36 minutes played. This summer he helped lead the Australian men’s basketball team to a bronze medal at the Olympics. Being a participant in those games was a showcase of how healthy Exum is since he has not played in more than 42 games in the last four seasons.
Exum, 26, will be playing on a very heavy incentive based non-guaranteed contract that could be worth up to $15 million over the next three seasons if he meets all the requirements set by the Rockets.
