The average salary is only 7 million, and the Rockets quasi-main center is too cheap! He has two positions and becomes a perfect match for Shen Jing

I believe everyone has also seen that the Rockets' series of transactions and signings during the offseason have basically been very successful. In terms of trading, it disappointed everyone a little bit of a disappointment when sending away Whitmore, who has poor defensive ability but has a certain potential, but in fact, Whitmore has been having a quarrel with the Rockets last season. Now he was sent away to exchange for two second-round draft picks. It can be said that the Rockets have not lost too much; keeping Whitmore in the team, he doesn't have many opportunities to play, and it may become a hidden danger in the Rockets' locker room at any time.

, and using Jaylen Green, Dillon Brooks and several draft picks for Durant is regarded by many experts as the best deal in the NBA in the offseason. At the same time, the Rockets cut off marginal players such as Langdale and Geneson Williams, which is also a stroke of knowledge, which can free up player positions and salary space for the Rockets.

In terms of signing free agents, the Rockets signed Capela, Finney Smith and Okogie respectively, as well as some two-way contract players. Among these players, their salaries are very reasonable, especially center Capela switched from the Atlanta Hawks to the Rockets - many years later, Capela became the Rockets center again. Although his No. 15 jersey has been occupied by Shepard, Capela did not forcefully ask for it, but instead wore No. 30. The meaning of the No. 30 jersey is also very good, that is, Capela, who was wearing No. 15 before, will now work harder to repay the Rockets' trust.

In fact, after all, the Rockets should also thank Capela for taking the initiative to reduce salary and sign the contract, because judging from Capela's performance last season and his position in the league, the star center can get an average annual salary of at least 10 million yuan, or even more. Now many second- and third-rate centers in the NBA have annual salary of more than 10 million yuan, while Capela, a star center who averaged 8.9 points, 8.5 rebounds per game with the Hawks last season, plus 1 assist and 1 block. He only signed a contract of 21.5 million yuan with the Rockets; although the contract is three years, his average annual salary is only about 7 million yuan.

Among them, on the one hand, the Rockets want to get Capela and give him more tactical status; on the other hand, Capela is also willing to return to the Rockets, after all, this is where his career begins, with all kinds of good memories, such as leading the team to the Western Conference Finals with Harden and Paul, and fighting the Warriors for seven games. Moreover, among the Rockets, Capela's tactical position is actually a quasi-main center, because Uduka has repeatedly emphasized that the two-tower lineup will be used more in the new season. Adams' attendance rate is not high, so Shin Kyung and Capela's partner became another option for the Rockets.

Uduka revealed that after Capela joins, she will play two roles next season: first, in single center mode, Capela can serve as a substitute center; in addition, the Rockets can also allow Shin Kyung and Capela to form a new inside double tower, so that when Adams is absent or resting, the Rockets also have a double tower lineup that can be shown.

Capela is fast and has strong defensive ability. He is more athletic than Adams, so around Shin Kyung, Capela can share more defensive pressure for Shin Kyung; and Capela is good at "eating cakes", and can easily score layups after receiving Shin Kyung's pass. This is the difference between Capela and Adams. Capela can be a perfect match for Shin Kyung. He holds a pretty cheap contract among the Rockets, but his tactical status is not low.
