Annual salary of eight digits! Why does Uduka win the Rockets super contract?

The Rockets provided Uduka with an eight-figure annual salary contract renewal. Let’s talk about why it is worth so much money. What a visionary investment it is, or is it a big bet on the future. It is a smart operation to say that the Rockets gave Uduka such a big contract, or is it a bit too risky?

is an eight-digit annual salary that makes him among the top coaches in the league. But considering his previous record and some changes he might have brought to the team, I have to take a look at it again whether this is a masterpiece or a bit hasty. Then why did he make the Rockets management so willingly give him this super contract?

It was before he came that the Rockets were really a bottom team and were at the bottom of the West all year round. But after he came, he brought the team to the top two in the Western Conference in two seasons, and it was a team with more than 60% of the games. He just led the team back to the playoffs after seven years and fought with the Warriors in the playoffs for seven games, so this result is here, and it is hard not to give him a high salary.

Why did he say that during his time with the Rockets, he specifically brought about tactics, player training, and team atmosphere, what changes did he bring about such a big improvement in the team? His arrival has improved the Rockets' defensive efficiency to fifth in the league. Then his tactical arrangements made Shin Kyung and Adams' double tower very threatening. He also sorted out the team's offense, allowing these young players to play very freely like Green. In terms of player training, he also made Jaylen Green from a player who averaged 18 points per game to a player who averaged 24 points per game. Moreover, his defense has also improved a lot, including Jabarry Smith Jr., whose three-point shooting percentage has increased from 30% to 36%, and his rebounding has also increased significantly, all because he practices these rookies every day to guide them.

In terms of the team atmosphere, he used some strict discipline to transform the team from a very scattered team to a very cohesive team. You see, they were once behind 1-3 in the series with the Warriors, and they won two games in a row. This is the embodiment of their team's cohesiveness. What specific changes did Uduka's joining bring to the Rockets' market appeal?

Because of his resume, he once led the Celtics to the finals, and he also had this kind of experience in fighting superstars. So his arrival actually makes the Rockets more attractive in the free market. At the same time, the team's sponsors have also supported the team more, including the team's jersey sales, which will definitely increase. So his influence is actually to make the team better in both competition and business.

So how valuable do you think the Rockets have to Uduka’s contract extension? Then where will the team's future go? It is his improvement in the performance, innovation in tactics, training of young players, and his appeal in the market that have made this eight-digit annual salary very reasonable, and even laid a foundation for the team's future to compete for the championship. So I think they are likely to go further next season and even go to the Western Conference Finals, so I think this is a very visionary investment.

In summary, Uduka used his excellent coaching ability to turn the Rockets from a bottom-season team into a strong team in the playoffs. Then he also brought great potential to the team in commercial development. So I think this big contract is still a very reasonable investment.
