Aquaman became the first player to stay in the team, the Rockets inside double towers were finalized, the backcourt may be reshuffled, and the second-level Tanhua was eliminated

As management renewed the team's substitute center Adams with a three-year, $39 million contract, he became the first player to stay in the team this summer. Last season, Adams averaged 4 points, 5.8 rebounds and 1.2 assists per game. Although the data seems very average, his franchise protection and rebounding ability are second to none in the league. This season, his three-high combination with Shin Kyung and Smith Jr. made his opponent at a loss in many games. In the playoffs against the Warriors, Adams's performance in the inside became a key factor in the team being able to drag the opponent into a tiebreak.

renewal of Adams indicates that the team's lineup of the two towers in the interior is basically finalized. He and Shin Kyung will form a double tower at rotation and critical moments to help the team at both ends of the offense and defense of the penalty area. Regardless of whether Langdale and Smith Jr. can still appear on the lineup list next season, the Rockets' inside line has two major guarantees: one offense and one defense.

The Rockets' reserves on the front line are also "happy worries". Dillon, Amen, Ethan, and Smith Jr. are all excellent wings with both offense and defense. Tate and Williams even have almost no chance to play. Even if some players left the team as trading chips during the offseason, the Rockets still have enough personnel to keep the team good competitiveness on the front line. The weak back line is undoubtedly a problem that the management must solve this summer. Van Jordan's big contract will definitely not be executed. Several previous renewal contracts have not been determined for a long time. It is not difficult to see that the team is also watching the market dynamics and a more suitable point guard. Van Vleet is no longer the first choice, and the original substitute point guard Holiday is even more likely to become the team's third choice.

Starting point guard Jaylen Green's poor performance in the playoffs has made fans call for an early trade, but Green himself has expressed his hope to stay in the Rockets, but this is not something he can decide. Green's style of play is biased towards traditional shooting guards, hoping to rely on purely personal ability to score singles, and has obvious shortcomings in outside long shots and fouls. The team focused on training for four years to achieve this state, and perhaps it was time to consider giving up.

Another potential show Shepard is in a time when the Rockets lineup is difficult to get regular rotation. His natural defects in height and physical fitness have directly lost his competitiveness. His offensive end has only one hand outside three-point shooting ability, and his defense is too single. Coupled with Whitmore, the entire Rockets' back line has been embarrassed, and the team has had to reshuffle the signings this summer to keep the Rockets competitive in the West.
