On the first day of the NBA free market this year, I was completely crazy!
It is no exaggeration to say that this is the most lively offseason in the past decade!
And the most active team among them is undoubtedly the Houston Rockets! From the moment they came to Durant for the transaction, they couldn't suppress their energy and signed contracts in the market, which seemed to be in a big way to rebuild the glory of Houston.
Firney Smith of the Lakers first took over the contract of $53 million for four years, without giving the Lakers any chance to bargain. Finney Smith was traded to the Lakers by the Nets in December last year, so the two sides have no feelings or loyalty to talk about. For a character player like Finney Smith, a long appointment is the bottom line. It is worth mentioning that according to Lake Records, Pelinka privately criticized Finney Smith and said that his knee was in bad condition. As a result, Finney Smith's team found out and chose to break it. Last season, Finney Smith played in 43 regular season games, averaging 28.8 minutes per game to score 7.9 points, 3.6 rebounds and 1.4 assists per game to score 34 minutes per game during the playoffs, averaging 6.2 points, 4.2 rebounds and 2.6 assists. The data is not outstanding, but Finney Smith's 3D attributes are scarce in the league.
Several sources revealed that Finney Smith's contract contains a non-guaranteed portion, and the last year is also a player option, and even a transaction margin clause. Therefore, the Rockets' move is considered a heavy investment to strengthen the wing. Not until it's over, the Rockets snatched another player from the Lakers, and they were the center they wanted to be! Capela's three-year, $21.5 million full guarantee contract will return to the Rockets! It is no exaggeration to say that the team's operation directly shocked Rockets fans. After all, Rockets fans' feelings for Capela can be said to be deeper than all the players in the team today. Capela is a late-stage player. During the Rockets, he became a cake king by Harden's cake feeding, and then gained a foothold in the NBA. After going to the Eagles, Capela's data continued to decline due to the increase in age and the decline in tactical status. No one expected that 5 years after leaving the Rockets, 31-year-old Capela returned to Houston!
3 years and $21.5 million, half of the full middle-class contract won Capela. The Rockets' move made Lakers fans stunned. In this way, the Rockets' inside players include Shin Kyung, Capela, Adams, offense, defense, and even organization. For the Lakers, the sky is really falling. Because it was not just Capela, but another intentional center Lopez was also snatched away by the Clippers. So far, the Lakers have only signed Laravia, a 2.01-meter forward. The Rockets' operations are considered to be a one-shot victory. At this point, the Rockets have signed 10 players in a row since the offseason and completed the third-tier reinforcement. The Rockets in the new season are definitely one of the most favorable contenders for the championship. This offseason is definitely the most active year for the Rockets.
First, he left Adams for 3 years and $39 million, renewed Uduka for many years, and received Durant for 2 years and $50 million, and stayed with Holiday, Jeff and Tate for the basic salary, renewed Smith Jr. for 5 years and $122 million, dug up Finney Smith for 4 years and $53 million, and received Capela for 3 years and $21.5 million! Every step of the Rockets' operation can be said to be surprising, but every step is quite reasonable. It is no exaggeration to say that after these operations from the offseason to the present, the Rockets can definitely rank first in terms of book strength. There are even fans who expect that compared to the Clippers, the Rockets are obviously more suitable for Harden. If Harden can return, this Rockets will seem to have no shortcomings!
