Adams posted a message, suspected of saying goodbye to the Rockets? It has become a hot commodity this summer, and the size of the contract is not the key

As the Rockets' second center, although 31-year-old veteran Adams performed averagely in the regular season, in the playoffs, the ace center's personal abilities were fully demonstrated. Not only is he the Rockets' biggest and strongest player in the interior, but his ability to cover, pick-and-roll, rebounds and block are all top-level in the league. Although Adams is not good at shooting and is not very good at free throws, on the defensive end, Adams is definitely the top center in the league. Especially the Rockets' inside double tower lineup formed by him and Shin Kyung has caused many opponents to suffer, including the Golden State Warriors. The reason why the Rockets were able to stubbornly tie the score to 3:3 when they were behind 1:3 in the first round of the playoffs was that Adams' performance in the Rockets was an indelible contribution. Although Shin Kyung is the first core of the Rockets' inside, Adams has brought great pressure and trouble to the Warriors on the defensive end. Therefore, there are many teams lacking centers or teams with weak inside lines that want to compete for Adams this summer.

31-year-old Adams is not very old. He just played in the NBA for too long, which makes people think that he is a very old player. In fact, 31-year-old Adams is getting better and better this season. He joined the Rockets halfway through last season. Although the season was reimbursed due to injury, the Rockets have been waiting for him patiently. This season, Adams played and stopped after returning, and his appearance rate increased rapidly after the All-Star.

In the playoffs, he played all 7 Rockets games. Moreover, in the playoffs, Adams' average game data has increased to 5.7 points and 6.6 rebounds, and his inside defense ability is definitely not reflected in such data.

Adams' contract expires this season, so he will become a full free agent this summer, and it is OK to stay with the Rockets or go to other teams. But Adams has not stated whether he wants to stay in the team now. The Rockets season is over, and Adams also posted on social media to summarize the season.

He thanked Houston and said that the Rockets brought him the energy and support on the court was incredible. He hoped to represent the city as the pride of the Houstonian. It was an honor to fight side by side with his brothers. The Rockets fought with courage, determination and perseverance, showing resilience beyond the court. He is also proud of everything he has learned with Rockets players.

This statement can be regarded as Adams' farewell to the Rockets. He took the initiative to thank the Rockets and summarized his season. This statement and tone made people suspect that he was saying goodbye to the Rockets and to his teammates who had fought side by side for a season. After all, Adams has no shortage of next players in the offseason this year, and he has also become a hot spot in the free agent market. Even with an annual salary of 12 million, it is probably difficult to sign Adams because he has achieved his net worth in the playoffs.

In addition, whether the Rockets can keep Adams is not determined by the size of the contract. In addition to the big contract, what Adams wants is the chance to win the championship. After all, Adams has never won the NBA championship in his career for so many years. He is now 31 years old and must want to win a championship in the last few years of his career. Obviously, it is difficult for the Rockets to become a championship-level team now.

Even if you stay with the Rockets, although you may get a bigger contract, you will not see any hope of winning the championship here, which will affect Adams' contract renewal with the Rockets.
