Three good news from the Rockets! Van Jordan renews his contract at a bargain price, will cut Randale, and Shin Kyung completes his evolution

On June 26, Shams made me miserable. Yesterday, he told everyone not to sleep at night on a show. He said that a big deal would happen. As a result, I set an alarm every hour from 10 o'clock, and even feared that it would affect the child, so I slept on the sofa. As a result, no news was revealed. However, Van Jordan's contract renewal still made me more gratified. I guess many Rockets fans did not expect Van Jordan to be so righteous.

Today, the Rockets have a total of three good news. First, let’s talk about Van Jordan’s contract renewal. I predicted that Van Jordan would renew his contract with an average salary of 30 million, or slightly lower than this price. My prediction was 87 million in three years, but Van Jordan only had 2 years and 50 million. You should know that his team option contract for the last year was close to 45 million. What is this concept? A 31-year-old All-Star who is at its peak just needs a top blue-collar salary and stays in the team.

Van Jordan's contract renewal has created a 14 million transaction exception. In this case, the Rockets use this transaction exception to sign players or trades, and this salary can completely win a top-level blue-collar puzzle. I think it is a good choice for the Rockets to chase a substitute shooter at this price. The biggest shortcoming of the Rockets' lineup is that there are too few stable shooters, and Alexander Walker is a good choice.

Van Jordan averaged 18.7 points, 4.1 rebounds, 4.4 assists and 1 steal in the playoffs this season, with a three-point shooting percentage of 43.5%, and averaging 3.9 three-pointers. He proved his ability to play tough battles. Van Jordan can be said to be one of the best 3D backcourts in the active league. His contribution on the defensive end is better than that on the offensive end. Van Jordan often has the team's contributions that ordinary data cannot be displayed:

When Jaylen Green was not on the court last season, Van Jordan and Amen were on the court at the same time, and the team had a net victory of 19.3 points in 100 rounds, Van Jordan and Shin Kyung were on the court at the same time, with a net victory of 22.8 points in 100 rounds, and when the three were on the court at the same time, he had a net victory of 33.2 points in 100 rounds, which is quite terrifying. As for Durant's joining, it will affect the Rockets' defense. Durant restricted his opponent's shooting percentage last season, second only to Amen, and he and the Rockets are perfectly matched.

Van Jordan's contract is a player option contract, and according to US media reports, the two sides want to cooperate for a long time instead of just two years. Van Jordan's willingness to sacrifice his salary for the Rockets also shows that he wants to cooperate for a long time. After all, he can play his value here and also has the hope of winning the championship again. After renewing Van Jordan's contract, according to US reporter Evan, the Rockets are about to lay off Langdale to free up 8 million in salary space.

According to the contract, the Rockets must lay off the contract before June 29, otherwise his contract will automatically be converted into a protected contract. Langdale's ability is obvious to everyone. He is a very outstanding substitute center, good offensive skills at low posts, and has certain spatial ability. The biggest shortcoming is the slow speed. Now that the Rockets have Shin Kyung and Adams, Jabbarry Smith can also play the No. 5 position, so there is not much demand for Langdale.

Landale's departure is a win-win for both sides. Langdale can join a team that can give him stable playing time. With his ability, he will get a contract with an average salary of 5 million or even more. The Rockets free up salary space, whether it is reducing expenses or introducing suitable players, is a good choice. The Rockets' two centers are very outstanding now. Shin Kyung and Adams, their existence makes the Rockets extremely stable on both offense and defense.

Recently, the Rockets talked about Shin Kyung's current shooting posture when he was a guest on a show. He said: During this summer's training, Shin Kyung's shooting posture has become more and more comfortable. As far as I know, he is becoming more and more skilled in shooting three-pointers and creating three-pointers. This is good news for the Rockets. Shin Kyung's goal increase in the past few years is also very obvious. His basket damage this season is better than before. If he can develop a three-pointer with an average league level, Shin Kyung's future is definitely worth looking forward to.

The Rockets have no draft picks in today's draft. I thought the Rockets would miss the draft, but according to a reporter from the Houston Chronicle, the Rockets are exploring to get draft picks through trades to re-enter the draft in this year's draft. The players they are really optimistic about may decline in the overall picks, and the Rockets will have the opportunity to get a draft pick at a reasonable price. Now the Rockets have confirmed almost 5 rookies that meet the criteria, most of which are quasi-first-round picks.

This is very clear. The Rockets still want to continue to make up for the shortcomings in the lineup and introduce appropriate talents. It has to be said that Stone is indeed strong in ability. His arrival has allowed the Rockets to see hope for the championship again. Having said that, what do you want to say about the Rockets today? Welcome to leave a message for discussion.
