Both pass, shoot, control and defense! The Rockets successfully picked up 3 basic salary, used for their own use or trade, and Stone chose

As the Rockets general manager, Raphael Stone almost became the biggest favorite of the league's best manager next season. After all, in this summer's offseason, the Rockets have introduced many star players, such as Suns' super forward Kevin Durant, and the Rockets only exchanged him for Dillon Brooks, Jaylen Green and draft picks. In addition, the Rockets also signed free agent forward Dorian Finney Smith directly from the Lakers, and signed first and then exchanged for old player center Capela, and also signed Okogi with a year-round salary. In addition, the Rockets also signed the positions of their three two-way contract players.

Although the Rockets have also lost some outstanding players, such as Dillon, Jaylen Green, Langdale, McVay and Whitmore, the Rockets this season have made great progress in their overall offense and defense compared to last season.

More importantly, the Rockets also renewed several veterans in the team with several reasonable contracts, such as Van Vreett for two years and 39 million for three years and veteran center Adams for three years. In addition, the Rockets also renewed their contracts with Jeff Green, Tate and Aaron Holiday with a one-year minimum salary. This can also be considered a successful bargain, because if these players want to pursue a larger and longer contract, they can completely ignore the Rockets' retention and switch to other teams to sign a larger contract.

After all, Holiday is in his year of playing, he can hold the ball, control the ball, and has a good three-point shooting percentage, and his defense is underestimated; and as an all-round player of the Rockets, Tate has been chasing him almost every year in recent years, and in the end, Tate stayed with the Rockets and did not go to other teams; although 38-year-old Jeff Green is older, he is in good shape. Last season, when Smith Jr. was injured and absent for one month, Jeff Green served as the starting lineup many times, scoring easily in three-pointers and the basket, and has good rebounding ability. More importantly, he is the oldest player in the Rockets locker room, and everyone is willing to listen to him.

So, the Rockets signed three famous players with only three basic salary - Jeff Green, Tate and Holiday. They are really good at defending, shooting, and passing balls, and have extremely rich experience. Each of them is a long-standing player in the league. The Rockets successfully obtained three basic salary, which not only allowed the Rockets' small salary space to make the Rockets' money full, and did not waste a penny, but also allowed these three players to be used by the Rockets themselves, and they could also trade them until December 15 this year when they could be traded.

Now that the Rockets have signed Okogie, there are more than 1 million US dollars away from the first tyrant line. If they don't want to be punished and pay more luxury taxes, Manager Stone should remain silent and cannot continue to sign new players. However, when the three players can be traded on December 15, the Rockets can trade one or two of them according to the situation at that time, or even send all three away, freeing up salary space to sign players that the Rockets need more, such as a shooting guard or a substitute point guard.

In short, these three players can be left for Uduka to be allocated at will, or traded by Stone Manager for better use and more suitable for the Rockets. Therefore, these three basic salary signings can be regarded as successful bargains.
