The media said that the Rockets won the mahjong: Get rid of two long-term contracts and exchange for one-year contracts. KD, the brand new 12-man roster is balanced offensive and defensive

On June 23, the Rockets reached a deal with the Suns, and the Rockets sent Jaylen Green, Dillon, No. 10, and 5 future second-round picks to exchange for Kevin Durant from Phoenix. This deal needs to be reached on July 7 because of the "poison pill clause" in Green's contract.

US media LH wrote: The Rockets really traded and Durant kept Jabbarry Smith Jr. and Tari Ethan. This is crazy.

Salary media Bradeaux and Will started the live broadcast after the transaction. Both of them shouted in the live broadcast room that the Rockets won the battle. First of all, Jaylen Green did not perform well in the playoffs. His contract of 105 million in the next three years will take effect this summer, and Dillon has two years left. The Rockets are exchanged for Durant, who has a one-year contract. If KD plays poorly in the Rockets tomorrow summer, the Rockets can give up on him clearing up more than 50 million in capacities.

According to reports from TA reporters Sam Mika and Kelly Iko, Rockets insiders revealed that Jabbarri will return to the starting lineup to make up for Green's starting vacancy. At that time, Amen will move to the second position, and Jab returns to the fourth position. In addition to Van Vleet, the Rockets have huge size advantages in the starting position. Uduka hopes that this set of starters can play as much defensive ability as possible. Green's contracts for the remaining three years were 33.33 million, 36 million, and 36 million; Dillon's contracts for the remaining two years were 21.12 million and 19.99 million;

The media showed the Rockets' starting five starters in the new season: Van Vleet 6 feet, Amen 6 feet 7, Durant 6 feet 11, Jia 6 feet 10, and Shen Jing 6 feet 11.

After Durant joined, the Rockets are a brand new 12-man roster: Durant, VanVleet, Shinkyung, Adams, Jabbarri Jr., Shepard, Amen, Langdale, Ethan, Holiday, Whitmore, and Givey.
