Stone s exquisite operation, with three consecutive signings but still having salary space to add a strong support, the Rockets will win the championship

According to Shams' latest news, the Rockets plan to sign new contracts with free agents Tate, Aaron Holiday and Jeff Green, which also ensures that these three bench players can return to the Rockets in the new season. At present, Jeff Green and Tate staying in the team are basically confirmed to be the basic salary of veterans. Holiday depends on the specific follow-up operations. After all, Holiday occasionally played outstanding data last season. Let’s analyze these three contract renewals one by one. After Tate renewed his contract, he became the Rockets' most experienced player and has been playing for the Rockets for 6 years. In the early stages of reconstruction, Tate averaged nearly 30 minutes of playing time in the Silas era, which was a veritable main player. However, as the Rockets' strength gradually became stronger in recent years, Tate's position in the team has become increasingly weak, and it can be said that it has become a countermeasure card for certain specific opponents. I just feel a little bit emotional that the Rockets in 2020 would have thought that Tate would be Last One.

Aaron Holiday's stay in the team will be relatively surprising. First of all, his team options are relatively large, with a salary of 4.9 million next season. If the Rockets decide to play in order of VanVleet Shepard Holiday, it would be more luxurious to give a third point guard close to 5 million. However, according to Shams's meaning, the Rockets re-signed the contract with him, so I don't know if the situation will be similar to Van Vleet. It is a fact that he stayed with the team by reducing salary and renewing the contract. Huo Laosan performed well last season, especially when playing against strong teams, he occasionally performed well. Last year, he was one of the best players in the Rockets' point guards in the regular season (the highest score of 25 points in a single game in the season is the Warriors?), but unfortunately he didn't play much time in the playoffs. Not to mention Jeff Green's words, he should be the most likely player on all the Rockets' benches. Jeff, the old man played 32 regular season games last season, actually averaged 12.4 minutes per game. However, playing time is a career low. It is also expected to fall below 10 minutes next season. However, what Jeff Green provides for the Rockets is more of a locker room role. After all, every strong team also needs a spiritual leader. It is worth the money this season to be able to score 1-2 three-pointers in the connection stage at critical moments in the playoffs. Moreover, how can Jeff and Durant not keep the gay friends attributes?

Without any unexpected big deal, the Rockets' framework for the new season has been decided. Except for Brother Long and Jaylen Green who left the team and Landell's relegation, all the main players of last season will stay. Moreover, if these three players regroup and stay in the team again, the Rockets' salary space will still be lower than the luxury tax line, so this also allows the Rockets to still use the full middle class of 14 million yuan. I have to say that Stone's re-signation of these three players is really a masterpiece. It not only leaves a useful player on the bench, but also can sign a good strong support with a full middle class.

In this way, the Rockets' offseason missions are currently only three of the most important ones left. The first is who will this full middle class give to? (There are many options, you can sign one or split it to several different players, but the Rockets now have enough players, so they should only sign one with strong strength) The second problem is Durant's contract renewal. After July 7, he can sign a contract renewal with the Rockets for up to two years. The third question is still the old question. The renewal of Jabbarri Smith and Tari Ethan of the contract, of course, the conditions for this third question are based on whether the second question is solved.
