Lock 122 million contract! Deduct Leonard s talent, Ethan stays with the Rockets, you are expected to be the starter

The Rockets won Durant in the offseason this year, and signed electric fans and Okogi to greatly strengthen their defense, and Capela's return made the Rockets' interior full of fullness. The starting lineup for the new season is expected to be Van Jordan point guard, Durant point guard, Smith, Amen, and center Shin Kyung. Substitute Shepard point guard, point guard Okogie, then the small-time electric fan, big-time Ethan and center Adams. Capela, Jeff Green, and Holiday can only be used as injuries.

Durant is expected to renew a two-year contract with the Rockets in advance, so what the Rockets lineup needs in the next three years is stability. The Rockets cannot say that they must win the championship in the new season, but at least they must enter the second round. As for whether to win the championship, it still takes some luck, so the Rockets only reached a five-year, 122 million contract with Smith Jr. during the offseason this year. With the rookie contract, the Rockets and Jia Xiao are deeply bound in the next six years. The next step is to deal with Ethan and make the lineup completely stable.

Ethan and Smith are both rookies in 22 years, one is Tanhua and the other is a rookie with the 17th overall pick. Based on the analysis of strength, if you compare the number four, Ethan will undoubtedly be above Smith, especially on the defensive end. Ethan has excellent interception ability and blocking, and is the first in the Rockets in terms of rebounds. In terms of outside shooting, Ethan has also maintained a 36% three-point shooting percentage. Apart from being too crispy, Ethan's effect on the court is the same as Amen.

When the Rockets let Amen and Ethan slam the door, it is difficult for all attackers to score through a forced kill, which is verified. These two people are also called the goal god combination. How to persuade Ethan and the Rockets to renew their contract early is a difficult problem. Rockets reporter Ben DuBose recently analyzed the renewal of Ethan and the team. He believes Ethan is above Smith's strength, and if he can stay healthy, he can even get a higher contract than Smith. 5 years of 122 million is the final contract for Smith, and it is only the starting price for Ethan.

Ethan has Leonard's talent, his height, arm span, and his big hands are carved out in the same mold as the card, and both sides are almost the same in terms of rankings. Ethan is 24 years old and next year is his fourth season. Last season, Ethan averaged 12 points, 6.4 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 1.7 steals and 1 attacker in 24 minutes per game. Hit percentage is 49%, 35% of three-pointers. Ben DuBose believes that Ethan can get a higher contract extension if he waits until next year's offseason to become a restricted free agent.

But the problem is that Ethan's health makes these uncertain. So, the Rockets' early contract renewal may be a more stable way. Because you won the guarantee contract in advance, you don’t need to worry about injuries. The most important thing is that you still have many opportunities to get a big contract in the future. To put it bluntly, Durant basically retired after playing for the Rockets for three years. Ethan helped Durant compete for the league. Three years later, there was no problem with him becoming the Rockets' starter.

If Ethan can also realize Leonard's talent on the offensive end, strengthen his ball-holding and single-handed challenge, and seize open opportunities, then with the terrifying rebounding ability and blocking steals on the defensive end, Ethan is not without the chance to become the core. His current talent is above Anunobi. The latter receives an annual salary of 40 million yuan. Ben DuBose's final meaning is similar. Ethan stops when he sees it is better, and then continue to improve in the next few seasons and proves that his health is not a problem, and he can also move forward and retreat freely in the future. Attendance rates of 82 games, 22 games and 57 games in three seasons.
