Congratulations! The Rockets long-term contract is locked in Uduka, one of the highest NBA contracts in the new NBA. What is the next step for Durant?

On June 20, the NBA offseason has officially arrived. During this offseason, many teams will usher in great changes. For example, some big-name stars may change their bosses. The trading trends of Suns star Kevin Durant are currently one of the most popular topics in the NBA. At present, Durant's deal is not clear yet, and his next player is likely to be the Rockets. The Rockets had a success last season and achieved the second record in the Western Conference in the regular season, which gave them a light. The Rockets also made very clean and neat moves during this offseason. They renewed center Adams with a three-year, $39 million contract a few days ago. Today, the Rockets completed another important contract renewal, and they officially reached a long-term contract renewal with head coach Uduka. According to famous reporter Shams, Rockets head coach Uduka reached a long-term contract renewal agreement with the Rockets! Shams said this made him one of the highest-paid coaches in the NBA, but Shams did not disclose the specific years and amount of the contract.

Previously, Uduka led the Rockets to 52 regular season wins this season, and ranked first in the West for the first time in seven years. Although Shams did not disclose the specific annual salary of Uduka's new contract, according to what he said, Uduka will become one of the highest-paid head coaches in the NBA, then Uduka's new contract will inevitably have an annual salary of more than ten million US dollars. Is it wise for the Rockets to make such a decision?

In my opinion, this is very reasonable, because Uduka is very suitable for the Rockets' head coach:

First of all, Uduka emphasizes strict discipline. It is very beneficial for young teams like the Rockets. We all know that young players are prone to making mistakes and are prone to floating. With a coach and famous teacher like Uduka here, young players can grow better. After Uduka arrived, the Rockets were able to go from a bad team to the second team in the regular season in just two seasons. It was Uduka who brought them tough genes.

Secondly, Uduka's personal abilities have been recognized by the entire league. Two days ago, the Knicks had the idea of ​​playing Uduka, wanting to poach Uduka, but was rejected by the Rockets and Uduka himself. If the Rockets lock in Uduka's contract as soon as possible, then the two sides can cooperate with confidence and continue to help the Rockets achieve further improvement.

Third, Uduka is still very charming. During this offseason, several teams poached the Rockets' coaching team. However, none of the Rockets' assistant coaches left Uduka, but continued to stay with the Rockets. This shows that Uduka still has something on it. Keeping Uduka is equivalent to keeping the core of the Rockets, because for this team, Uduka is the real core.

Finally, I want to say that Uduka's contract renewal is likely to accelerate the Rockets' trading in Durant. Because Uduka likes Durant very much and has also named the team to introduce Durant. Now, the Rockets have officially established Uduka's leadership core in the future. Then, I'm afraid that under the promotion of Uduka, the Rockets will restart Durant's trading negotiations again. Maybe before the draft, we can really see Durant joining the Rockets.

Finally, congratulations to the Rockets on completing a very outstanding contract renewal. Hopefully they can get Van Vreet’s contract next!
