New changes to the Rockets! 3 players leave the team, multiple players renew or sign the contract! A new 16-man lineup is released, with a list of all staff

On June 28, Durant's trade was naturally the Rockets' most important trade and biggest reinforcement move this offseason. Although Durant is already a 37-year-old veteran, his competitive state is still the same as before. Many experts even believe that after getting Durant, the Rockets will soon become a team capable of competing for the championship. This is true. When playing for the Suns last season, Durant averaged 26+6+4+1 blocks per game, shooting 52% from the field and 43% from three-point shooting percentage. He is the most comprehensive scorer who can put the ball into the basket in any way and score easily.

Although he is older, Durant is in good condition and is willing to retire with the Rockets and renew his contract with the Rockets. Durant's next contract is expected to be around $120 million in two years, or more. Therefore, Durant's arrival has attracted more attention to the Rockets, and their overall strength has become stronger.

However, compared with last season, three players in the Rockets' lineup have been confirmed to leave the team: first of all, Jaylen Green and Dillon Brooks, who were sent to the Suns, who will play for the Suns next season; and the Rockets' 29-year-old substitute center Langdale will also be cut by the Rockets - because there are already Adams and Shin Kyung, and the Rockets also left Enfalley Dante as the third center with a two-way contract, so the Rockets don't need to leave Jock Langdale, who has an annual salary of 8 million yuan. Moreover, Smith Jr. and Ethan can play center, and Rockets veteran Jeff Green can also play center in a small lineup. Langdale's living space has become extremely small, and it is understandable to be cut.

In addition to these three people leaving the team, many Rockets also received contract extensions, and the most popular ones are Adams and Van Vritte. Adams' three-year, 39 million contract is considered cost-effective, while veteran Van Varret takes the initiative to cut his salary and signs a two-year, 50 million contract with the Rockets again. This is also the huge sacrifice and concession made by Van Varret for the Rockets.

In addition, the Rockets are expected to renew their contracts with three veterans, Jeff Green, Tate and Holiday, and the Rockets will also sign Dante and David Roddy with a two-way contract - these two players played for the Rio Grande Valley Vipers last season. In addition, the Rockets also signed undraft forward Cam Matthews yesterday.

In this way, three people leave the team, and multiple people renew and sign the contract, the Rockets' new 16ers lineup has been officially released. If divided by position, the Rockets' roster is as follows:
point guard: Van Vreet, Holiday
shooting guard: Shepard, Ginathan Williams
small forwards: Durant, Whitmore, Tate, Matthews
power forwards: Amen Thompson, Smith Jr., Ethan, Jeff Green, David Rody
centers: Shinkyung, Adams, Dante
Of course, the Rockets still have two official contract places to sign new players, and obviously the Rockets general manager Raphael Stone does not want to stop there. He also has a middle-class contract in his hand to use. In addition, the Rockets can still sign free agents with basic salary. I believe that in the future offseason, the Rockets' signing and trading actions will continue.
