297 million spent in the offseason! The Rockets made a big deal and formed a luxurious new formation! Fertita is not stingy

In this offseason, the Rockets used two main players, Jaylen Green and Dillon Brooks, plus a No. 10 pick and five future second-round draft picks to exchange for Suns superstar Durant. This deal involving multiple parties is known as the largest deal in NBA history, no doubt about it. But is it really necessary for the Rockets to get the 37-year-old super forward Durant? Obviously for sure.

The Rockets suffered a loss last season without the kind of players who can score at critical moments. Shin Kyung can't do it, and Van Vreet and Jaylen Green can't do it either. Without Durant, the Rockets might be at most a team that is active in the regular season but in the first round of the playoffs; without superstars, the Rockets are just a team that has no characteristics in the playoffs.

In addition to introducing Durant this year, the Rockets have actually spent a lot of money to build a lineup and formed a very luxurious new lineup. We know that many players from last season have now left Houston. In addition to Jaylen Green and Dillon, Whitmore was sent to the Wizards, Langdale was cut, Dante was abandoned, and McVay and David Roddy were not renewed.

However, the Rockets have introduced many players with big money, such as Capela and Finney Smith, who signed the mini middle class contract and standard middle class contract respectively, becoming the main rotation of the Rockets next season. In addition, the Rockets also renewed the contract with veteran Van Van Vreet and center Adams; at the same time, they used three basic salary contracts to lock in Jeff Green, Tate and Aaron Holiday, so that the Rockets' substitute lineup became richer. According to media statistics, the Houston Rockets spent a total of $297 million during the offseason. Moreover, the Rockets also renewed their young forward Jabbarry Smith Jr. in advance with a five-year, $120 million contract. If the Rockets can successfully renew Durant and Ethan in the next few weeks, the Rockets will spend more money this summer. Among all 30 teams, the Rockets can also rank fifth in the league in the offseason. It can be said that Boss Fertita is not stingy. Before, everyone thought the Rockets were very stingy and very stingy, which may be just an inherent impression of tradition.

Now the Rockets have seen hope of winning the championship, and they have not only exchanged for Durant through super trades, but also spent a lot of money to create a super luxurious lineup. Although this lineup looks slightly inferior to the Thunder, "I don't know if I don't play". Once this newly formed lineup really reacts, they have the chance to threaten the Thunder's dominance in the West.

In short, Fertita proved that she is not stingy. She spends money when it is time to spend money. She will sign or get it through a transaction immediately. The Rockets actually spends more money, because many players have very high cost performance, such as Adams, Van Vreet, Capela and Finney Smith.

The Rockets are actually still $1.2 million away from the first hard salary cap, which means that every amount of money the Rockets spends is actually very cost-effective. This is also the shrewdness of Rockets general manager Raphael Stone - using the least money to build the most luxurious lineup, probably only the Rockets can do this offseason.
