According to league rules, each team can have up to 21 players on the roster during the offseason, and at least 14 players in the standard contract when entering the regular season. Today, the Rockets just confirmed that they have signed a two-way contract with defender JD Davidson and small forward Isaiah Crawford. In this way, the Rockets' lineup is complete.

According to the NBA official website mobile player records, the Rockets currently have 14 standard contracts and 3 two-way contract players on the roster, of which the standard contract players are: Durant, Shinkin, Van Vreet, Adams, Finney Smith, Jabarry Smith Jr., Shepard, Amen, Capela, Ethan, Tate, Okogie, Aaron Holiday, and veteran Jeff Green.

The players with three two-way contracts are Kevin Harris, Isaiah Crawford, and JD Davidson. Defender JD Davidson was just cut by the Celtics on July 24, which also helped the team return to the "second tyrant line" of luxury tax.

Previously, given that the Nets and guard Cameron Thomas have not reached an agreement on renewal negotiations, the outside world speculated that Thomas might leave the Nets in the future. If the Nets lose their top scorer in the team, the team may continue to be in the reconstruction phase. The Rockets have the first round swap rights in 2027 due to Harden's transaction in 2021. If the Nets' future record continues to be sluggish, the Rockets can use the swap rights to obtain more assets, or find potential players to supplement the lineup in future drafts.

Sports Daily reporter posted a report to predict the Rockets' record for the new season: after they won 52 games last season, if they can maintain it, then their record of 56 to 60 is not a luxury.
