Three people have an annual salary of 57 million, and the Rockets team is in the no-fly zone! Three centers are rotated, and the double tower system is being upgraded
4:07am, 11 July 2025【Basketball】
Now in the league, the inside has become a must-fight for all teams. During the offseason this summer, many NBA teams have strengthened their strength in the inside. For example, the Lakers not only renewed the contract with Hays, but also signed Ayton, the former No. 1 pick. The Nuggets also left Valanciunas, and Jokic finally got a suitable substitute next season. Even the Spurs have introduced Celtics center Connet and have received big center Olynick who can shoot, and super center Wenban Yama, the Spurs' inside strength next season should not be underestimated. The Rockets are even more amazing. Although they directly cut off Jock Landal, the Rockets used a three-year, 39 million contract extension to leave behind 31-year, veteran Adams, and signed a three-year, 21.5 million contract to exchange for Hawks center Capela. In addition, the Rockets' own All-Star center Alperen Shinkyung, the Rockets will have at least three centers in the interior position next season.
If Dante accepts a two-way contract offer, he will still be able to stay with the Rockets and be the fourth center next season, but he may play in the Development League for a long time, after all, the Rockets are not short of centers at all. Smith Jr. and Amen Thompson can play in the center position, and even the Rockets can line up a small lineup, such as Finney Smith and Ethan can also reach the center position.
The Rockets are now full of talents in the center position, and Shin Kyung and Capela are both stars. The characteristics of these three players are completely different. Although Shin Kyung is slow, he has good skills in his hands and first-class offensive ability at the basket. Moreover, he is constantly training his shooting ability this summer, especially three-point shooting. I believe there will be results next season.
Adams is one of the strongest players in the league, with excellent screening quality and strong blocks, rebounds and basket protection. Capela is one of the most mobile centers in the league. Although he does not have the ability to shoot, he runs fast and is willing to do dirty and tiring work. He can switch to small guards or forwards. That's what he did in the Rockets under the unlimited defense switching system.
It can be said that the three centers form an inside no-fly zone for the Rockets. Shin Kyung's rebounding ability is quite good, and his defensive ability is also improving. Capela and Adams are both very professional defensive centers. With these three big men, coupled with inside players such as Amen, Smith Jr., the Rockets' defense at the basket should not be a problem. Although these three players occupy a lot of the Rockets' salary, for example, Shen Jing's average annual salary for the contract is 37 million, Adams' average annual salary for the contract is 13 million, and Capela's new contract is 7 million, and the annual salary of the three players combined reaches 57 million US dollars. The Rockets spent a lot of money to build a powerful No. 5 position in order to strengthen the inside defense and improve the inside offense next season, so that the Rockets' No. 5 position will be upgraded again.
The Rockets' three centers can rotate at any time next season, and they can continue to use the double tower lineup. Compared with the Rockets' double towers Adams and Shinkyung last season, the Rockets can also line up the double towers of Shinkyung and Capela in the future, or the double towers of Adams and Capela in the future. In this way, the Rockets' two-tower system will have more choices, and this new two-tower tactic will also usher in a certain improvement.
