The Houston Chronicle reports:
The Rockets plan to pick up the option on the final season of Hayes’ contract, a person with knowledge of the decision said Friday, keeping Hayes, 26, from becoming a free agent. The move indicates as much about the Rockets’ thinking in general as about Hayes and the one season and $2.334 million remaining on his contract.
Obviously a no-brainer. At $2.3million, Hayes is one of the best bargains in the league.
