2020-21 Rockets roster review, offseason outlook: DJ Augustin

By all indications, Augustin wants to stay in Houston, and that could make him a valuable veteran mentor to a young, rebuilding team.

Rockets Player: DJ Augustin, 5-foot-11 guard, 33 years old

Statistics in Houston: 10.6 points (42.4% FG, 38.6% on 3-pointers), 3.9 assists in 20.8 minutes per game

Professional Experience: 13 NBA seasons

Contract Status: Signed through 2021-22, will make $7.0 million next season

Augustin’s contract technically runs through the 2022-23 season — but of the $7.3 million he’s owed in that last year, only a tiny portion (~$300,000) is guaranteed. Thus, 2021-22 is effectively the final guaranteed year, with Augustin’s future beyond next season dependent on what Houston (or whatever team he is on) chooses to do in the 2022 offseason.
