The reinforcement ends, the Rockets signed Capela and did not leave Landal, and the total salary of 194 million is difficult to change.

After the free agent gate opened, the Rockets quickly settled two very affordable signings, signing Finney Smith for 4 years and $53 million, and signing Capela for 3 years and $21.5 million. After signing these two players, many people said that the team did not give Whitmore and Landale, so they used their packaged contracts and added the future first round, the Rockets could exchange for a prospective star player, such as Grimes, but after carefully looking at the Rockets' salary, everyone may know that this is impossible at all.

First of all, the Rockets signed Finney Smith for 5 years and $53 million. The team must have used a full middle class contract. Whether it is split or used, as long as the middle class is moved, the team's salary this season is destined to not exceed the first luxury tax line, which is $196 million.

Is there such a situation? The Rockets first used space to force Finney Smith's contract, and then renewed VanVleet with the hat. In theory, it is OK, but the Rockets' conditions are not met. Renewing the contract on the hat requires the team to have the right to renew the contract, which requires the players to play for more than three seasons with the team, while VanVleet currently only plays for two seasons with the Rockets, so the team does not have his right to bird. In this case, the team can only renew the contract with it according to the normal process, and at the same time use the split middle class to sign Smith. With Capela's salary of 7 million, the team's salary with a guaranteed contract has reached 194 million US dollars, and there is only about 2 million US dollars left to the first luxury tax line.

So, the Rockets' salary is currently fixed, and the team can only make them no more than $196 million by giving up the contracts between Landaile and McVay before July 7. Even if it is traded with Whitmore's contract, the team can only get a player with a contract of $3.54 million + $200 in salary space next season and a salary of $5.5 million.

Not only did it not be possible to sign Grams with chip combinations like Landdale and Whitmore, but some buyout players in the league are likely to be out of reach. Currently, a basic salary in the league is more than $3 million. Without using other players to trade, the Rockets are likely to use this space to sign a two-way contract, so that the number of players reaches the minimum 14 players stipulated by the league.

But even so, the Rockets' lineup is already very competitive next season. Recently, the media has posted the Rockets' roster of players, saying that these are simply two sets of starters. The starting players of the Rockets in the new season are likely to be Van Vleet, Amen Thompson, Durant, and Jabbarry Smith Jr., while the five substitutes are Shepard, Whitmore, Finney Smith, Ethan and Adams. Capela, the league rebounding champion who just signed $21.5 million in three years, has not even been on the team's cover cover character.

For those who want to make adjustments to the Rockets' lineup, some media also said that the team can try to use Whitmore trade to a rookie player, because Whitmore has told the team more than once that he hopes to get a main position, but with the Rockets' current lineup configuration, it is already very good to give him 15-20 minutes of playing time next season.

So some fans suggested using Whitmore trade to get Lakers Kneckett, and add the Lakers a future protected first round. First of all, Kneckett is in the same situation as Whitmerger in the team. He also wants to get an important rotation position, but with three core members, James, Doncic and Rivers Jr., Kneckett sometimes cannot even guarantee playing time, let alone be reused.

In this deal, the Rockets got a big man of height and size that could provide the team with outside firepower, and the Lakers got a potential striker who could train them to replace Rivers Jr. in the future. So this may really be a win-win deal! Do you think the Rockets will have subsequent reinforcement actions? Welcome to like, follow, and leave a message to discuss!
