Rockets just quietly parted ways with another multi-year player

Jermaine Samuels, who has spent the last two seasons as a part of the Houston Rockets’ organization, has signed a deal to join Spanish club San Pablo Burgos, according to Alberto De Roa’s transaction log on HoopsHype. Samuels began on a two-way contract with the Rockets in 2023-24, but last year, he was only with their G League team, the Rio Grande Vipers.

Now, Samuels, who is 26 years old, will begin a new chapter of his basketball journey just as the Rockets are about to start a new chapter of theirs. The difference? Samuels will be gunning for Spanish league glory, while the Kevin Durant-led Rockets will be working toward an NBA Championship.
