Marcus Smart Contract & Salary

Marcus Smart is on the books for $6,064,000 in 2026–27, the 10th largest cap hit on the Houston Rockets roster and 3.0% of the team's $200.4M payroll.

That ranks 232nd among the 444 players with a 2026–27 salary on the books, and eats 3.7% of the $165.0M salary cap.

The deal has 2 seasons left on it, running through 2027-28, worth $12,431,200 in guaranteed money.

The money climbs as it goes: $6,064,000 in the first year up to $6,367,200 in the last, a 5% rise across the deal.

Not every year is locked in: 2027-28 player option.

The option year belongs to the player, not the team — he decides whether to take the money or return to the market, so the team cannot count on it either way.

At 32, this contract runs through his age-33 season, so the back end lands after the usual peak.

He sits in the bottom third of the roster by salary, the part of the payroll teams use to fill out the depth chart without moving the cap needle.

He is one of 14 players on the Houston Rockets' books for 2026–27, whose 2026–27 salaries add up to $200,413,923.

Houston Rockets sit at $200.4M in payroll and are currently classified Over Cap, with +$8.6M of room below the first apron.
