Official: 17+8 wing forward officially joins the Rockets with 53 million in 4 years, he will wear the No. 2 jersey

Last season, under the leadership of Uduka, the Houston Rockets finally wiped out the previous decline and gave all the powerful men a painful blow with the top of Mount Tai.

For a time, the Cleveland Cavaliers, Celtics, Indiana Pacers, New York Knicks, Denver Nuggets, Minnesota Timberwolves, and Los Angeles Lakers were all knocked down by them, becoming the background board for winning. In the end, the Houston Rockets advanced directly to the playoffs with the second best record in the West. This result was not only unexpected, but also slapped a group of reporters and experts in the face.

It's a pity that their players are generally young, have little game experience, and their playoff experience is even closer to zero. As a result, they were suppressed by their opponents on both offense and defense and could not play their characteristics at all. At the critical moment, when Curry, Butler and even Hilde were able to fire frequently, no one from the Rockets could stand up to counterattack. After seven fierce battles, the Houston Rockets were unfortunately defeated. The taste of losing is undoubtedly bitter, and General Manager Stone vows to build a truly championship team. At the end of the finals, the Rockets resolutely sent Jaylen Green, Dillon, a No. 10 pick in 2025 and five second round picks, and brought Durant from the Phoenix Suns. In this way, the Houston Rockets finally have their own key man, and their offensive and defensive efficiency has also been greatly improved in an instant.

However, Stone's operation did not stop, but continued to inject new talents into the team. The Rockets officially announced that Finney Smith officially joined the team and he will wear the No. 2 jersey. According to previous reports, the two sides will sign a four-year contract of 53 million, with the last year being the player option. The last owner of the Rockets 2 jersey was Landale. He was cut by the Rockets this summer and then signed the Grizzlies. Finney Smith is 32 years old. On December 30, 2024, he and Milton were sent to the Lakers. The Nets got D'Angelo Russell, Maxwell Lewis and three second-round picks. Nowadays, the Rockets have introduced the powerful 3D player Finney Smith, which has successfully filled the defensive vacancy left by Dillon after leaving the team, and also gave Uduka more choices to arrange troops.
