The current status of the Rockets 18-player contract: 8 players stay in the team, it is difficult to decide whether to stay or stay in the 4 veterans, 6 players recover from freedom

In the offseason, the Rockets not only want to chase those superstars who may be traded, but also need to deal with the contract issues in the current team lineup. The Rockets have a total of 18 players this season, of which 15 are carrying NBA standard contracts, and the other three players Enfalley Dante, David Rody and McVeigh have two-way contracts. In other words, the Rockets' 18-man contract types are different now. Manager Stone should try to keep some players worth keeping, such as 31-year-old veteran Adams, who performed very perfectly in the playoffs, and the Rockets must use a big contract to renew him.

The Rockets' 18-player contracts are currently divided into three types: 8 players are currently in the contract period. If the Rockets do not actively trade them, these 8 players will remain firmly in the Rockets next season (25-26 season). There are 4 veterans who are uncertain about their stay and stay because they either have team options or are not guaranteed contracts. The Rockets need to decide whether to execute their contracts next season; there are 6 players whose contracts have been fully expired, and they have now returned to their free agents. They can sign a new contract with the Rockets, or they can directly bid farewell to Houston and look for opportunities in other teams.

Let's first look at the 8 players who stayed firmly on the team who were on the contract. These players are basically young players and players holding rookie contracts. Jaylen Green and Shin Kyung's four-year rookie contract has been officially executed. Since the Rockets took the initiative to sign a new contract with them after the end of last season, two ace stars Shin Kyung and Jaylen Green will begin to execute their new contracts next season.

Shen Kyung's contract is 185 million in five years, while Jaylen Green's contract is 105 million in three years. Although neither of them got the maximum salary, the annual salary of more than 30 million yuan made the two star players very satisfied. The Rockets didn't waste much cap space on them, so the Rockets still have some cap space to chase other players this summer. In addition to the two, Dillon, during the contract period, Shepard, Whitmore, Smith Jr., Amen Thompson and Tari Ethan, were all during the rookie contract period. Among the other four veterans, Van Vreet and Aaron Holiday are in the team options, while Landale and Genethan Williams' contracts are non-guaranteed next season. The Rockets must confirm that they will not sack them before they can continue to stay. Of course, Van Vritte and Holiday also need the Rockets to confirm that they will execute their contracts for next season before they can stay. Therefore, it is difficult to decide whether these four veterans of the Rockets will stay or not, because the Rockets have not given a clear answer to whether to leave four players.

6 other players have regained their free ranks, including the three players mentioned just now with the two-way contract expiration, as well as veterans Adams, Tate and Jeff Green. All six players have their contracts expired. If the Rockets want to keep them, they need to issue a higher contract on the one hand, and on the other hand, they need to persuade them to continue to play in the Space City.

However, considering that the Rockets intend to chase superstars this year, the contracts of these players have not been processed yet. After the Rockets' potential big deal is completed, it is time to decide whether these players will eventually stay or stay.
