The NBA's free agent market has officially opened in the summer of 2025, and all teams are desperately fighting for people. In fact, many players have already discussed with their favorite team and are waiting for this time to sign the formal contract.

The Houston Rockets have made a big move this summer, and they are simply a big deal. They first sent Jaylen Green away, and the trade was given to Durant, which greatly improved firepower and stability on the offensive end. Next, the Rockets renewed Van Vreet and Jabbarry Smith Jr., stabilized their backcourt and forward line, and extended their contract with head coach Uduka.

In this way, the Rockets' lineup has actually taken shape. The next step is to check for shortcomings and fill in the gaps and continue to strengthen its rotation lineup. Today, the Rockets took action and signed two players with starting strength in a row.

First, the Rockets signed forward Dennis Finney-Smith, who was determined to leave the Los Angeles Lakers, with a four-year, $53 million contract, which is the so-called "electric fan". Although not a great offensive, Finney Smith has a good defense quality and is regarded as one of the best perimeter defenders in the NBA right now.

Next, the Rockets signed back the old player Capela for another three years and $21.5 million. Capela started playing in the NBA with the Rockets, and later moved to the Atlanta Hawks, hoping to get a big contract and become an All-Star player. However, she failed and has now become an ordinary starting player. Returning to the Rockets is a fallen leaf.

Finally, the Rockets renewed their contract with players such as Tate, Jeff Green and Holiday. The lineup was basically completed and very strong. They are indeed expected to hit the NBA championship next season.
