Give up signing Brogden, Rockets 16ers are determined to participate in training camp, only Shepard s contract premium

The Rockets have 13 official players left after the Rockets cut Williams. Although there are two formal contract quotas, the Rockets can only offer a basic salary for their current salary space.

Van Jordan only played 60 regular season games last season. It is difficult for him to stay full in attendance at the age of 31 in the new season, so some American media believe that the Rockets need to add another reliable substitute point guard.

Malcolm Brogden has had many scandals with the Rockets. Now a free agent, he is considered a potential signing target for the Rockets.

Brogden is not short of suitors. Half a month ago, famous reporter Jack Fisher revealed that the Lakers, Clippers, Suns, Warriors, Timberwolves and other teams are interested in him.

Brogg played 38 starts last season, and he wanted a stable playing time, which the Rockets could not guarantee. The Rockets gave up signing Brogden and chose Okogie to pull the defense full. The Rockets have announced the signing of Okogie. According to the revelation of famous reporter Shams, his contract is $3.1 million a year.

Okoji is obviously a dish from Uduka. Although Okogie's three-point shooting is an object that can be emptied, his defensive aggressiveness is very consistent with the Rockets' team culture. Okogi, who is 1.93 meters tall, has a 2.13-meter-long wingspan, and he can defend the opponent's core defender. In contrast, Dillon, whose lateral movement speed is not very good, struggles to defend the back.

The Rockets have 16 players confirmed to participate in this year's official training camp. The Rockets have 14 formal contract players. The starting five Tigers are expected to be Van Jordan, Amen, Durant, Smith Jr. and Alperen Sengon. On the bench are Shepard, Ethan, Finney Smith, Tate, Adams, Holiday Jr., Okogie, Jeff Green and Capela. The Rockets previously signed a two-way contract with Harris and an Exhibit 10 contract with Matthews.

According to NBA rules, each team can bring up to 21 players to training camp, and the maximum official roster after the start of the season is 15 formal contracts and 3 two-way contracts.

ESPN salary expert Bobby Max said that after the Rockets signed Okogie, the total salary in the new season reached $194.7 million, up from the hard salary cap. 14 formal contract players meet the league's requirements, and the Rockets' space has reached its limit and they can no longer sign people. Even if you sign a player with the minimum minimum salary, it will cost at least $1.27 million.

The Rockets have two two-way contract quotas available. The salary of two-way players in the new season is $636,000, and two-way contracts are not included in the salary cap. The Rockets previously offered a two-way contract qualification offer to Nfali Dante, but he has not officially signed the contract yet.

Jaylen Green's new contract has some premium, but he has been sent away by the deal. Van Jordan's contract last season was significantly premium, but he has signed a new contract, and a salary of $25 million is in line with his strength. The Rockets' contract with Shepard is only one person, is a premium.

comes from the Rockets salary scale provided by the American media "hoopshype".

Durant ranked first, with an annual salary of $547,08,608 in the new season. As the top scorer in the league and has huge commercial value and popularity, Durant's contract can be said to be of great value.

Alperen Sengon ranks second, with an annual salary of 33944954 in the new season. As an All-Star Center, Sengong's contract is quite worthwhile.

Shepard's annual salary in the new season is $10603,560, which is higher than Amen ($9690,212), but he is not better than Holiday in Uduka's system (annual salary in the new season is $3080,921).

If Shepard still fails to meet Uduka's expectations in the new season, he may become a bargaining chip and be sent away, just like Jaylen Green and Whitmore.
