The Rockets fifth move this summer! Durant can t even get it, only 120 million yuan will renew the contract, and want to steal the Lakers 3D

On June 30, many signings in the league occurred today. Harden and the Clippers reached a two-year contract of 81.5 million. Deng Ge's salary increased. Many Rockets fans hoped that he could return to the team to replace Van Jordan, but obviously Uduka didn't want this. Moreover, the Rockets have renewed Van Jordan, blocking the possibility of Harden's return. Rockets' general manager Stone, his ability is indeed great. He completed another contract renewal today.

According to US media reports, the Rockets and Jabbarry Smith reached a five-year contract of 122 million, with an average salary of only 24.4 million. Many fans may have said this: Just Jabbarry Smith's performance, isn't this a normal price? This is also a normal operation for Stone. In fact, considering the potential and functionality of Jabarry Smith, this contract renewal is definitely worth it. This season, Jabarry Smith averaged 12.2 points, 7 rebounds and 1.1 assists per game, with a shooting percentage of 43.8%, and a three-point shooting percentage of 35.4%.

It is indeed reasonable to look at the data alone for 120 million, but Smith is a player whose data cannot show value. Their space abilities are excellent and can open up space for Shin Kyung and other teammates. What the Rockets need most is space. After all, Amen's three-pointers are not accurate. In addition, Jabarry Smith has excellent defensive ability. He can switch to multiple positions and is very tough. Everyone has seen his performance in the playoffs. He is very good at fighting tough battles and has a 45.5% three-point shooting percentage in the playoffs.

He is very similar to Jaren Jackson of the Grizzlies. In addition, one of the main reasons why Jabarry Smith's data is not outstanding enough is that the Rockets did not give him too many opportunities. He was originally considered the No. 1 favorite, but after the Rockets got him, he made him play the role of the blue-collar worker in the space. In order to reduce the price this season, the team also reduced his playing time and allowed him to play the role of the sixth substitute, which also affected Smith's performance.

And the Rockets have achieved their goal now. The Warriors have not given Cuminga too many opportunities, but also to lower the price. However, after Curry was injured, Cuminga got the opportunity to prove himself, and now he can't hold back the price. After renewing Smith, the Rockets' mission is far from complete. They may consider renewing Ethan's contract in the future, and may also discuss the possibility of renewal next summer. In addition, they also plan to renew Holiday Jr., Tate and Jeff Green. The Rockets want to retain their core lineup.

The Rockets have done 5 operations in the past 15 days. In addition to this operation, they first renewed the 31-year-old Adams with a three-year and 39 million contract. In the playoffs, everyone has seen Adams' destructive power to the opponent's inside and defensive formation. It is worth keeping him, and it is still a salary of about 13 million in three years, which is very cheap. The same is true for Jabbarry Smith. Five years later, with the surge in players' salaries, he only had more than 24 million, which is simply a great value. At this time, Smith also entered his peak period.

Later, they renewed the contract with coach Wuduka with a big contract. It is reported that the annual salary of this contract is as high as 10 million yuan, which is understandable. After all, Wuduka has created a winning culture for the team, and it took two years to bring the bottom Rockets to the second in the Western Conference. He proved his ability. Van Jordan renewed his two-year contract of 50 million. Van Jordan chose to cut his salary for the team. His playing style coincides with the Rockets' culture, and Van Jordan also wants to stay here and continue to win the championship.

There is also the trade that gets Durant. They just gave Jaylen Green, the No. 10 pick, Dillon and 5 second round picks and got Durant. It was simply a bargain. In Durant's trade, the Suns wanted Jaylen Green + Jabbarry Smith's, but the Rockets refused. They didn't want to put Smith in the trade. Now everyone should know the purpose of the Rockets. They want to keep Smith for a long time.

After completing this series of operations, the Rockets did not intend to end the operation. They postponed Landal's team option contract to July 8. This is more to try to trade him. The Rockets have Smith, Shinkyung and Adams, so there is no need for Landale. If they can trade him, it's just right. If the transaction cannot be completed, there will be no loss if they give up. The Rockets are killing two birds with one stone.

The Rockets now have a full middle-class contract, reaching 14 million. They want to get the Lakers' top 3D Finney Smith, and Smith can sign a three-year, 56.4 million contract with the Lakers this summer. If he really wants a 18 million contract, the Rockets are willing to accept some luxury tax. They may use Langdale and the Lakers to sign first and then exchange. It is estimated that the Rockets will extend Langdale's contract for Finney Smith.

The Rockets' purpose of getting him is also clear, which is to improve the team's space and defense. Moreover, he has a lot of experience and can give the team more help. He is the player Uduka wants. Having said that, what do you want to say about the Rockets today? Welcome to leave a message for discussion.
