Stay at the team for the end of one year! The 29-year-old Rockets veteran shows goodwill to superstar new players, and takes the initiative to show off to follow Durant

The Rockets are young enough now. Although the Rockets have sent away two young players, Whitmore and Jaylen Green this summer, there are still many players in their early 20s on the team, such as Shin Kyung, Shepard, Ethan, Amen, Smith Jr. This has made the Rockets one of the lowest average age teams in the league.

Now the Rockets no longer need new players, but veterans. This is why the Rockets have been introducing veterans for two consecutive years, because the Rockets have now trained enough young players. They do not need young people very much, but those veterans who can fight to improve the team's combat effectiveness and quickly strive for the championship. For example, the arrival of three veterans this summer, Durant, Capela and Finney Smith, directly gave the Rockets the ability to compete for the championship.

In addition, the Rockets also renewed their contracts with three veterans with a year-round salary: 38-year-old Jeff Green, 28-year-old shooter Holiday and 29-year-old Jesseon Tate. These three Rockets players will find it difficult to appear in the main rotation lineup next season. After all, they are older and their abilities are relatively average at present. However, these players have their own characteristics, especially 29-year-old Jay Sean Tate, who has played for the Rockets for 5 years and has played for the team since the Harden era. Later, he has been teammates with core players such as Wall, Wood, and Porter Jr., and he is still one of the toughest players in the Rockets.

Although Tate will not appear in the rotation next season, maybe any player is injured and missed in 82 games. After all, Tate claims to play 5 positions per person, and he can do it from the back line to the inside. He has a positive attitude and is willing to accept new roles. Staying in the team further shows that he wants to help the Rockets win the NBA championship.

Durant is the Rockets' star next season, and he is also one of the best scorers in the league. Although Tate is already known as a veteran, compared with 37-year-old Durant, 29-year-old Tate is 8 years younger, and he is still a newcomer in front of Durant. In an interview, Tate also talked about Durant. He said that the Rockets need Durant very much now. It is exciting for him to play with superstar Durant, and he will absorb Durant's experience like a sponge. It can be said that Durant is one of the best scorers in history. His attitude towards the game every day is worth learning and can also have a positive impact on the Rockets.

So Durant is not just a super scorer that the Rockets have, he has unparalleled experience. After all, in the Warriors, Durant led the team to win two championships, and he also became the most valuable player in the finals twice. Now among the Rockets, although Durant is older and is still the second oldest player among the Rockets, these young players of the Rockets need to learn from Durant and absorb his experience. Even the 29-year-old Tate needs to learn from Durant. Judging from Durant's plan, the 29-year-old "veteran" Tate still has huge room for improvement.

The Rockets will have so many outstanding forwards next season and they will be one of the most powerful contenders for the NBA championship. Although Tate is not as good as Durant in terms of tactical status, he can still contribute to the Rockets in the regular season.
