On May 25, according to NBA salary expert Bobby Marks, the NBA officially announced that the best team of the season has arrived, and many players have obtained super top salary qualifications. Among them, it includes Williams of the Thunder, Mobley of the Cavaliers, Cunningham of the Pistons, etc. In the summer of 2027, Thunder guard Alexander was able to sign a five-year, 380 million contract with the team, while Timberwolves guard Edwards had the opportunity to sign a four-year, $360 million contract. The latter may become the first player in history to earn more than $100 million a year.

It is worth mentioning that the Rockets signed Jaylen Green and Shin Kyung with three-year, $104 million and five-year, $180 million respectively last summer. These two signings are great value. Next season, Jaylen Green and Shin Kyung's salary will be 33.33 million and 33.94 million US dollars respectively. By comparison, Cunningham and Mobley both have contracts of up to $47 million. It has to be said that Stone's two signings have saved the Rockets at least 30 million in salary space, and the Rockets are fully capable of using this space to retain VanVleet.

In addition, according to NBC reporter Kurt Helin, the Rockets are interested in sending Shin Kyung and the trade is obtained for Bucks forward Antetokounmpo. If the deal is completed, plus the cap space created by the Rockets before, the Rockets will be one of the most competitive teams in the West. Obviously, it is precisely because of these two cost-effective signings that the Rockets may become the best ideal next home in Antetokounmpo. You should know that the three best players in the Rockets this season are Shin Kyung, Green and Thompson. Next season will be Amen Thompson's third season, with his salary of only $9.69 million.
