There are new moves, and the Rockets plan to renew Holiday and three others, and the three veterans escort the Rockets

During the past two days of draft, the Rockets, which had no draft picks, were really bored. The team did not move for two days, and finally only ended at the end of the draft. Cam Thomas, a big five student at Mississippi State, signed with a two-way contract. A forward who averaged 7 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 steals per game, is likely to choose a combat power for the Development League Vipers.

However, less than 24 hours have passed in the draft, reporter Shams said on a TV show that news from the Rockets was constantly coming. At first, the Rockets had a plan to send Whitmore away and traded to get a veteran like Dillon. Then Shams once again stated that the Rockets plan to reach a contract renewal agreement with three veterans, Tate, Holiday and Jeff Green, so that they can continue to stay in the team next season.

I have to say that this decision is somewhat different from what people thought before. Because after VanVleet renewed its contract for two years and $50 million, the team has already vacated a full middle-class special case, which can offer scorers like Alexander Walker and Trent. Now that the Rockets choose to renew these three veterans, it will inevitably have a certain impact on the team's space.

Last year, Jeff Green's salary was $8 million, Tate was $7.07 million, and Aaron Holiday was $4.67 million. Jeff Green and Tate will become complete free agents this summer. Although Aaron Holiday has a team option contract of $4.9 million, the Rockets are likely to not execute it.

Jeff Green and Aaron Holiday have been on the team for two consecutive seasons, and Tate has been playing for this team since the first moment of entering the NBA. Referring to their data last season, Jeff Greene 5.4 points and 1.8 rebounds, Tate averaged 3.6 points and 2.3 rebounds, and Aaron Holiday averaged 5.5 points, 1.3 rebounds and 1.3 assists per game. In the playoffs, Holiday averaged 4 points per game, Jeff Green averaged 1 point per game, and Tate did not get a chance to play.

So even if the contract is renewed, these three are likely to be renewed at the basic salary, and Jeff Green, the player who can get the most, will be a contract of $3.6 million. But then again, instead of letting them go, the Rockets might as well renew their contract and keep them behind. Originally, the team also needed to use multiple basic salary contracts to meet the requirements of a minimum of 14 people for formal registration, and these three people followed the team for at least two years and witnessed the entire process of how the Rockets got up little by little from the quagmire.

At the same time, in the regular season, players will inevitably be troubled by injuries. At this time, as the old team's third lineup, they can continue to stand up. After all, compared with the newly signed players, the tactics performed by these three are well-versed in the Rockets. With these three veterans "escort" the team, the team's road ahead will be smoother.

And now the only problem people are worried about is that they cannot trade later, or sign directly with salary, and do they still have enough salary space. For example, Grimes, who has a lot of relationship with the Rockets, is currently predicting that Grimes' market conditions may be higher than those of the middle class. Previously, the Rockets had only one middle class with a price of about $15 million. Even with this offer, Philadelphia could match it. Not to mention that after renewing the contract with three people, the team's salary space is less than $15 million.

In fact, this problem is not difficult to solve. As long as the Rockets boss clearly expresses his willingness to pay the luxury tax, the team's signings will return to normal track. Their contracts will not be a hindrance. As long as the players the Rockets like can get through the transaction, the boss will eventually pay for it.

But then again, the Rockets boss should also contribute some luxury tax to the league. After so many years of building a team, the total luxury tax amount has been less than $6 million. Last year, the Suns paid $188.5 million in luxury tax, which exceeded the total salary of all Rockets members. Now that Durant has come to the team, the boss can also be generous and seize the window of winning the championship in the past three years and strengthen the team as much as possible. After all, if you really win the championship by then, the amount of luxury tax paid by the Rockets can be completely negligible. Do you think the Rockets should renew their contracts with three veterans, Green, Tate and Holiday? Welcome to leave a message for discussion!
