Analysis:

The veteran will be a free agent this offseason, but after a strong playoffs showing it's clear he still has plenty left in the tank. He'll be an unrestricted free agent come July, and the Rockets are expected to attempt to bring Terry back next season. In the final year of a three-year, $15.6 million contract, Houston would likely be able to bring him back at a cheaper, short-term price tag. Rockets center Dwight Howard praised Terry for his leadership when queried on the subject earlier in the playoffs. "He's been a great veteran to our team, a great voice in the locker room, a great voice on the court wherever it may be," Howard said. "He's been consistent all year. He's done an excellent job bringing myself and James [Harden] closer as teammates and also as leaders of this team."
