6 people join, 7 people leave! A list of changes in the Rockets during the offseason: Both offense and defense have been greatly improved

After the Rockets signed Okogi with a one-year contract of 3.1 million, their lineup also has a formal contract player position to use. But unfortunately, the Rockets are now more than 1 million US dollars away from the first hard salary cap, which also means that if the Rockets sign players again, they will pay more luxury taxes. So from this situation, the Rockets' players introduced this summer should come to an end.

Although the Rockets can sign two more two-way contract players, and the contracts of these two-way contract players will not be included in the total salary space, the Rockets have basically settled their lineup for next season. The most changes may be some minor repairs and make a fuss on two two-way contracts. One of the two-way contract places is expected to be left to Dante, the fourth center who played for the Rockets last season. After all, in the summer league, Dante has always been the starting center of the Rockets. His performance is actually OK. He can eat cakes, defend, and be willing to do dirty and tiring work. This is his advantage.

Now we have also seen changes in the Rockets' lineup in the offseason. It can be said that the Rockets' lineup changes significantly last season. Two players have left in the starting lineup, one is their starting shooting guard Jaylen Green, and the other is starting forward Dillon Brooks. In addition, Whitmore went to the Wizards, both Langdale and Mikeway were cut, and Nate Williams was also cut last week. Forward David Rody, who held a two-way contract, was also sent to the Hawks in Durant's trade, and was later cut by the Hawks.

7 players left Houston, and now 6 players have joined the Rockets. I believe everyone is already very familiar with it. Durant switched from the Suns to the Rockets, and the Hawks' substitute center and Rockets' former player Capela, who was also awarded by the Rockets in a big deal in the seven teams. In addition, the Rockets also signed their substitute forward Finney Smith from the Western Conference Powerhouse Lakers. The day before, the Rockets also signed forward Okogi with a year-on-year salary.

In addition, the Rockets also have two marginal players, Cam Matthews and Kevin Harris, who joined the team this summer. Both marginal forwards also participated in the summer league and performed well, especially Kevin Harris, who scored double-point points in each of the four summer leagues, and his performance on the offensive end is even more stable than Shepard.

6 people joined the Rockets, and 7 people left the Rockets. In fact, the overall number of players of the Rockets does not seem to have suffered much loss, but in fact, the Rockets' current strength on both offense and defense is obviously a huge improvement and significant improvement compared with the overall strength of last season. Because of Durant's arrival, the Rockets' offensive ability has been improved by 1-2 levels. Durant is the best scorer. With him, the Rockets' offense is no problem.

On the defensive end, Finney Smith, Capela, Okogi, and even Kam Matthews, who signed the temporary contract, are all defensive players. The arrival of these players directly makes the Rockets' defensive ability stronger and more players who can defend. The Rockets' offense and defense strength has not declined due to the departure of Jaylen Green and Dillon Brooks. Instead, through a series of exquisite operations by Manager Stone, the Rockets have truly improved their offense and defense level. Next season, the Rockets will become the top team in the league in both the regular season and the playoffs.
