Retain the team after salary cuts? Jeff Green expressed his opinion! He is willing to play for another 2 years and end his life in the Rockets. If the contract is renewed, the team s three positio

Just as the Rockets management has been saying, introducing a superstar can immediately improve the Rockets' offensive ability and overall strength, but the Rockets dare not take risks. After all, their lineup has now won the second place in the West in the regular season, and breaking up this lineup may not necessarily make the Rockets better next season. So, retaining the core lineup and introducing some players in appropriate positions, the Rockets can still launch an attack on the championship.
You should know that there have been many teams that have been desperate to collect stars. The final record is not very good, just like the Phoenix Suns this season, with the Big Three, they can only rank 11th in the Western Conference, and they have not even touched the threshold for the playoffs. This is something the Rockets don’t want to see, so it is very reasonable and correct to manager Stone to be more conservative and cautious.
The Rockets want to keep Adams and Van Vreett, two core members of the inside and outside, and also want to keep Aaron Holiday. Even though Shepard and Whitmore will get more playing time next season, Holiday is still the Rockets' best substitute point guard.
At the same time, the Rockets also reported that if the two veterans, Tate and Jeff Green, were willing to keep them. Rockets veteran Jeff Green also publicly promised in a show that he wanted to play for another two years, saying goodbye to the league and basketball at the age of 40 - that is to say, he still wants to continue his basketball career after this season, and is willing to live a lifetime with the Rockets and retire.
So, since the Rockets are willing to keep Jeff Green and the veteran is willing to stay with the Rockets to play, the Rockets' basic salary renewal contract should be two years. This is really inexpensive: Jeff Green can defend and shoot, but he is unmatched in experience, and even in basketball history, he has played for many teams for 18 years. After the contract expires this season, Jeff Green will find it difficult to get an annual salary of 8 million yuan like this season. A basic salary of $2 or 3 million seems to be a more reasonable choice.
In other words, Jeff Green is expected to cut his salary by 5 million next season, but he is willing to stay with the Rockets and is unwilling to go to other teams to compete for higher contracts. After all, for a veteran, stability is what he wants most. Jeff Green has won the championship with the Nuggets and has won many big contracts over his years of career. It should be more reasonable to continue to stay with the Rockets to sign a two-year minimum salary contract. Once the Rockets leave Jeff Green behind, three positions will be improved next season. Jeff Green is also a versatile player of the Rockets. He can play in three positions alone: after his debut, he served as a small forward in the Thunder; and then he has been a power forward in the golden period of his career, including in the Rockets this season, and more often as a No. 4 position.
But if the Rockets want to play in a small lineup, Jeff Green can also mention the center position. Although he has average combat ability and not too high in height, he has good shooting ability and moving speed and can still perform well in the center position. Therefore, it is only a matter of time before Jeff Green renews his contract with the Rockets, and it is estimated that the Rockets will announce that the 38-year-old veteran will be retained soon.
