7:30am, 3 June 2025Basketball

On June 2, ESPN reporter Jim Owczarski forwarded four operation suggestions about the Rockets this summer in the media. The first deal was to use Jabbarry Smith, Dillon Brooks, Landare, Holiday, and the Suns' first round in 25 and 27 years, and the Suns made a deal to get Suns forward Kevin Durant. In fact, the Suns proposed a similar deal in the middle of this season, but the Suns wanted to get Shepard at that time. However, the deal was rejected by the Rockets.

The second operation, 3 years, 70 million yuan renewal of VanVleet. The Rockets have postponed Van Vleet's contract renewal negotiations, and the Rockets do not rule out the possibility of executing Van Vleet's last one-year contract and then trading him out.

The third transaction, renewing Adams for 40 million in 3 years. This signing is very important to the Rockets, and Adams' performance in the playoffs shows his current importance to the Rockets.

The fourth operation, renewing Ethan's contract for 70 million in 4 years. After the trade was Smith, the Rockets' most important contract renewal was to keep Ethan. Ethan's annual contract does not exceed 20 million, which is indeed cost-effective for the Rockets.

The fifth operation, the Rockets signed Melton in the free agent market. Melton has been in injuries most of the season. His performance at the Warriors won him respect, especially his performance on the defensive end.

The 6th operation, the basic salary renewal of Jeff Green and Jay Sean Tate. If the Rockets can keep these two people with 2 basic salary, it will be a very successful operation for the Rockets.

Rockets start next season, Shin Kyung, Durant, Thompson, Green and Van Vleet.

Rockets will be substituted next season, Adams, Ethan, Whitmore, Melton, Shepard.
