The Houston Rockets operate so far in the 2025 offseason, which can be said to be one of the best teams in the league.
We all know that the Rockets were quite successful last season. As a team that just finished their reconstruction, they played second in the regular season in the Western Conference. In the first round of the playoffs, they even fought against the Warriors for seven games and lost unfortunately.
This year's offseason, the Rockets need to strengthen targetedly and upgrade based on the weaknesses and defects exposed by the team last season.
Before the draft, the Rockets and the Suns completed a big deal between Kevin Durant, giving away chips such as Jaylen Green and Dillon and the No. 10 draw, and exchanged for superstar Durant.
With Durant, the Rockets finally solved the problem of no superstars. They finally got star players who could play high-end games. Moreover, the Rockets did not pay much chips, and this deal was very successful.
In addition, the Rockets have also completed a lot of outstanding work this offseason, such as locking in long-term contracts for head coach Uduka, completing a contract renewal with Adams and Van Vreett, etc.
On June 28, the Rockets reported that they will renew their contracts with three veterans of the team.
According to ESPN reporter Shams Charania, sources revealed that the Rockets plan to sign new contracts with free agents Tate, Aaron Holiday and Jeff Green to ensure they continue to play for the team next season.
"In the past 13 days, the Rockets have reached a series of important deals: they have successfully introduced Durant and renewed their contract with Adams. In addition, the team has renewed Uduka and re-signed free agents Van Vreet, Tate, Holiday and Green," Shams wrote.
In this way, the Rockets' main rotation lineup last season basically remained unchanged, only losing Green and Dillon, and ushering in Durant, and their strength was definitely strengthened.
More importantly, after signing the three veterans, Tate, Green and Holiday, the Rockets still have a full middle class of about $14 million, and there is still a chance to continue to strengthen.
I have to say that the work of Rockets general manager Stone is effective, and we must look at him with admiration.
Some people may think that the three veterans that the Rockets are preparing to renew their contract have no important role. But in my opinion, the three of them have their own extraordinary value.
Tate and Holiday are considered as quasi-substitutes, and Old Green is the treasure of the locker room, and both have a great effect!
Holiday was the team's stable substitute last season. He was able to play when VanVleet was off the court and hit those three-pointers. Sometimes, when Jaylen Green was underperformed and pressed on the bench, Holiday could also stand up and hit it.
Tate is an old bull of this Rockets team. He is diligent, active in defense, and has three points, which is a very good puzzle. And after Dillon leaves, Tate can stand up and make up for Dillon's defensive role. Although Tate's 3-point shooting is not as accurate as Dillon, in terms of defense enthusiasm and spiritual attributes, Tate is very close to Dillon, which is also his value.
As for Jeff Green, his brother-in-law was still very efficient last season. Sometimes when you play on the court, you can still make a contribution. His more important role lies in the role of leadership in the locker room. As the saying goes, there is an old family, like a treasure.
The Rockets in this offseason are so powerful, they move quickly, and they don’t drag it out at all, and they are all prescribed the right medicine. They should strengthen and strengthen, and they should cut salary, and all the role players are kept, and the prices are kept at a low price, and Green is also dealt with.
It's been a long time since the Rockets management is so powerful. If the Rockets management can handle Durant's salary cut and renewal contract, then this offseason can be said to be perfect.
Next, let's see how the Rockets get Durant's contract renewal and what kind of players they sign with full medium capacity. Looking forward to the Rockets soaring to the sky next season.
