The Rockets inside changes during the offseason show a butterfly effect, and multiple players influence each other whether the opponent stays in the team.

As a very young team, the oldest veteran of the team is Jeff Green.

Jeff Green is 39 years old this year. As the seventh-old player in the league, the NBA has 18 years of age. As a player who has played for the Rockets twice, Jeff Green has experienced the championship cycle as the core to the transformation cycle of young players. It can be said that Jeff Green is a witness to the changes in the Rockets.

In the summer of 23, the Rockets signed a four-year, $36 million contract with Jeff Green. The three years after this contract is a non-guarantee contract. This summer, Jeff Green's contract is non-guarantee. The Rockets can choose to continue to cooperate or give up Jeff Green. From the current point of view, there is a high probability that one of Jeff Green and Langdale will be left, and at least one will be given up. Compared with Langdale, Jeff Green has a higher probability of staying.

This season, Jeff Green played 32 games for the Rockets, starting in 3 of them, averaging 5.4 points, 1.8 rebounds, 0.6 assists, 0.3 turnovers, 0.2 steals, and 0.1 blocks. His shooting percentage was 50%, his three-point shooting percentage was 36%, and his free throw shooting percentage was 80%.

Playoffs, Jeff Green played 3 games for the Rockets, averaging 1 point and 0.3 rebounds per game, shooting percentage of 33.3% and three-point shooting percentage of 100%.

In terms of data, Jeff Green has not played most of the time. In the past two seasons, Jeff Green has played 78 games in 23-24, and has played 32 games this season, and has reduced the appearance by 46 games. This reduction in the game is not due to the reduction of injuries, but Jeff Green has not been in the Rockets' regular rotation lineup most of the time.

Jeff Green's status has declined significantly compared to last season, which has a lot to do with Adams being able to play this season. Last season, the Rockets' inside configuration was Shin Kyung + Langdale. Langdale was in poor form most of the season, so Uduka had to let Jeff Green play more as a substitute center and become Shin Kyung's substitute. This season, such a role was led by Adams, liberating Jeff Green's productivity.

Jeff Green does not have to swing the center, and Jeff Green does not have to play a substitute power forward. In the 23-24 season, Jeff Green changed to power forward for a small part of the time. With Amen Thompson's strong recovery this season, Amen Thompson played a starting power forward, and Smith and Ethan changed to a substitute power forward, prompting Jeff Green's position to be occupied by young players.

Jeff Green did not enter the rotation most of the time. It is not that his own level is not good or his strength, but that the team's lineup depth and thickness can allow Jeff Green to have a better truce. In terms of immediate combat power, Jeff Green maintained a good competitive state on the court.

From the offensive end, when Jeff Green played this season, he could basically keep hitting 1 three-pointer and have a layup or dunk. When Jeff Green's playing time was already good, it was rare for Jeff Green to maintain space attributes and maintain mobility vitality.

From the defensive end, Jeff Green did not move poorly because of his age. Jeff Green has always been a player with good mobility in his career. Due to his rich experience, his defensive choices and defensive judgments on the court can set an example for young players.

The biggest problem for Jeff Green is that he is getting older, which leads to his physical fitness being unable to keep up and is unlikely to play for a long time in high-intensity games. Therefore, with the Rockets full of personnel, Uduka has more time to make Jeff Green the team's locker room leader and mentor for young players on the sidelines, but when Jeff Green can play, he basically has a positive contribution to the team.

The biggest problem for Jeff Green is that as the team's spare tire, the salary of 8 million is a bit expensive. The 8 million contract amount is in the Rockets' many young players in rookie contracts, and the team can still bear it. However, next season, the rookie contract between Jaylen Green and Shin Kyung is over, and the contract amount is increased to more than 30 million. Then Jeff Green's 8 million contract seems very eye-catching. Of course, whether the Rockets will keep Jeff Green mainly depends on whether Adams can be left behind, and who to stay between Langdale, or both of them will be abandoned by the team.

Judging from the actual combat effectiveness of the imminent combat power, Jeff Green's performance on the spot was slightly stronger than Langdale. The two's playing time rarely overlaps, and more about Uduka's attempts and choices for different lineups in different time periods.

Jeff Green has basically lost his combat power this season. He is more of an optional veteran, and his teaching role for young players is reflected in the locker room and on the sidelines. The Rockets have the possibility of leaving Jeff Green behind, or giving up Jeff Green, or trading Jeff Green. However, as a marginal player of the team, Jeff Green must be an alternative to the Rockets' other plans, such as whether Adams can be left behind, whether Langdale can be left behind, etc. From this perspective, Jeff Green's fate in the Rockets is basically in the hands of Adams. Whether Adams stays in the team is also directly related to whether Jeff Green stays in the team.
