Houston Rockets general manager Rafael Stone said Wednesday that he and owner Tilman Fertitta are aligned on making strategic roster moves and are not constrained by potential luxury tax implications.
Stone's comments, reported by Yahoo Sports, indicate the franchise is prepared to operate above the salary cap threshold if necessary to pursue competitive opportunities.
The Rockets have been navigating the NBA's luxury tax structure as they build around a young core. Stone emphasized that financial considerations will not dictate basketball decisions.
