Congratulations to the Rockets! 3 people were signed in one day, the lineup has reached 16 people, and there are still quotas + salary space to sign up

On June 28, although the Houston Rockets did not move in the draft, the Rockets did not need young players at all. There are enough new players in their team to use. Now the Rockets are quietly strengthening, introducing some new players to their lineup, and leaving behind some veterans that should be left behind. The Rockets have recently made some moves, such as renewing the contract with two veterans, Van Vreet and Adams, and introducing top forwards like Kevin Durant. And the day before, the Rockets also signed an interim contract with the Bucks draft defensive forward Cam Matthews, who will represent the Rockets in this summer league.

In addition, today there is news that the Rockets will sign new contracts with three veterans, Tate, Jeff Green and Aaron Holiday. We know that the contract between Tate and Jeff Green has expired and they have become free agents, but the Rockets previously believed that the two veterans should be retained with basic salary to compete in next season. Although Aaron Holiday signed a two-year, 10 million contract with the Rockets a year ago, it was not guaranteed the following year. The Rockets are now refusing to execute Aaron Holiday's second year contract, but they will still sign a contract with Aaron Holiday.

In this way, the three veterans in the Rockets' third lineup - shooter Holiday, small forward Jay Sean Tate and power forward Jeff Green will all stay in the team. Although there is no report on the new contract length and size of these three players, it is expected that all three players will renew their contracts with the Rockets at basic salary. Including veteran Van Varret, who took the initiative to cut salary by 20 million and these three veterans who took the initiative to cut salary, it can be seen that the Rockets' determination to win the championship is already very firm. These veterans took the initiative to cut their salaries in order to make the Rockets' salary space more flexible next season.

Currently, the Rockets also have a full middle-class contract, and after signing Tate, Jeff Green and Holiday, the Rockets still have salary space and player quotas, and can continue to sign players. Previous reports said the Rockets would cut off their third center, Jock Langdale. The other two-way contract players, David Rody and Enfalley Dante, will also sign two-way contracts with the Rockets, so the Rockets' lineup is quite complete now.

Apart from losing Landal, the Rockets basically have no loss in the lineup, and using Dillon Brooks and Jaylen Greena to exchange the No. 10 draw for Durant, which is also a reinforcement worth looking forward to by the Rockets. Now there are 16 players in the Rockets' two-way contract players, temporary contract players and formal contract players. Although it seems that there are quite a few people, the Rockets still have open players and salary space, so they can continue to introduce players.

In the next transfer market and free agent signing market, I believe the Rockets will still appear as a buyer. After all, their full middle class is worth looking forward to. The Rockets have a clear attitude and want to compete for the championship next season. In this way, it seems that the Rockets will continue to introduce powerful players to supplement the lineup.
