Leave 2 people + sign 1 person, Rockets will find a bargain and defend! 7 magical operations successfully upgraded to the 14-man roster

The two-way quotation left 2 people + 1 person signed in the E10 contract. The Rockets, who had no operations in the first and second rounds of the 25-year draft, took advantage of the defensive players after the draft. The 7 major operations successfully upgraded the roster to 14 people, and at the same time, they could also pack up to 5 first-round picks to strengthen.

Both quotation Leave 2 people

According to the Houston Chronicle reporter Danielle Lerner, the Rockets have provided Dante and David Roddy with two-way qualification quotes, and the two have become restricted free agents.

Dangte was a five-star high school student in the United States in the past. Because of injury problems, he did not meet expectations. After losing the election for 24 years, he signed a two-way contract with the Rockets and spent most of his time in the Development League.

The Rockets were in the fiercely competitive season in the 24-25 season. When Teh was once troubled by injuries in the Houston interior, he got four chances to play. During this period, he performed an eye-catching performance.

Especially when he played stably in the first three games, when Te once scored 10 points, 9 rebounds, 1 assist and 2 blocks in the game against the Thunder, he was tough on both offense and defense, actively and efficient.

It's a pity that the Rockets' inside has three qualified rotation-level insiders, Shin Kyung, Adams and Langdale, the Rockets abandoned Ding Te after they passed the injury period.

But this does not mean that he has no chance in the new season. With the Rockets cutting Landale, if Dangte can further prove himself in the summer league and preseason, I believe the 23-year-old insider will have a chance to compete for the Rockets' third center role.

Compared to being a undrafted, David Roddy was the first round pick in 22 years. After being selected by the 76ers at the 23rd pick, he was quickly sent to the Grizzlies, but his performance has not met expectations. He then went to multiple teams such as the Suns, Hawks and 76ers.

also played a qualified substitute role during the regular season, but its overall performance and growth were far from meeting expectations, so it was laid off by the 76ers last season.

The Rockets signed him with a two-way contract, but then transferred him to the Development League Vipers for a long time to level up. Considering the Rockets' exaggerated forward reserves, no major surprises, Roddy will spend most of the new season with the Vipers. In addition to trying to leave two marginal players in both directions, according to famous reporter Scotto, the Rockets also used the E10 contract to Taobao forward Cam Matthews from Mississippi State University.

Cam Matthews is 2.01 meters tall and weighs 106 kg. He is a typical defensive champion. He was selected into the Southeast League's best defensive team twice during his college years, and has averaged more than 2 steals per game in the past two seasons.

7 major operations upgraded 14-person roster

The Rockets have been doing magical operations since the offseason, and the 7 major operations have successfully upgraded the roster to the current 14 players. The specific operations are as follows:

Operation 1: 3 years and 39 million renewal of Adams;

Operation 2: Coach Wuduka early renewal of multi-year contract (average salary reaches eight digits);

Make three: Package Jaylen Green + Dillon + No. 10 draw + 5 second round picks 8 for 1 to get Durant;

Operation 4: Reject the $44.89 million team option, 2 years and 50 million Van Jordan;

Operation 5: Cut off the unsecured contract of Landail;

Operation 6: Quotes + David Roddy;

Operation 7: Take a bargain and lose the draft Cam Matthews.

The current 14-man roster is as follows:

Potential starters: Van Jordan, Amen, Durant, Jar Jr. and Shinkyung;

Official contracts with 6 substitutes: Shepard, Ethan, White Devils, Adams, Holiday and Williams;

Two-way contracts: Dangte and David Roddy;

E10 contracts: Cam Matthews.

The Rockets' lineup adjustment must not be over yet. Since only one first-round pick was given in Durant's transaction, the Rockets can pack up to 5 first-round picks to continue to strengthen, which is enough to pursue superstars like Antetokounmpo and Jokic.

In addition, the Rockets are also negotiating a contract renewal with Durant, who will be eligible to sign $120 million for two years. Famous reporter Shams pointed out that Durant may be willing to reduce his salary to renew his contract to facilitate the Rockets' subsequent strengthening.

After Van Jordan's salary cut by 20 million yuan to renew, the Rockets' salary is currently reduced to below the luxury tax line, and can use a full middle-class special case worth $14.1 million to strengthen.

In terms of player chips, famous reporter Shams revealed that the Rockets are still considering packing the first round pick and White Devils to strengthen their wings to fill the vacancy after Dillon left, and the Lakers' Finney Smith is one of the targets.
