Reusing 2 players and re-signing 3 players, is the Rockets new lineup already has its own prospects? The 10th pick in the first round may become a signing change

If you look at it from the paper alone, the Rockets' lineup this season is really strong, and the team has various types of players: Van Vreet and Amen Thompson who can hold the ball to organize attacks, Jaylen Green who can break through and shoot with the ball; top 3D wing Dillon Brooks and Ethan, and space power forward Smith Jr.; even inside, there are scoring inside, Shin Kyung, Adams, who can defend the basket and shoot.

Even in the Rockets' marginal lineup, there are rim protection experts like Dante and three-point shooting players like McVeigh. It can be said that what the Rockets lack now is a superstar. However, it seems that the Rockets do not intend to chase stars this offseason, because Rockets' reporter Carey Ico has reported that the Rockets' main task this summer: first, to give Shepard and Whitmore more opportunities to play and tactical status next season.

Although Holiday performs well this season, Shepard is expected to replace Holiday's tactical position and playing time next season. Whitmore is also one of the Rockets' best scoring players. No one in the Rockets can stand up and score at critical moments in the playoffs. If Whitmore is vigorously trained in the regular season, I believe that when the Rockets can't start the game in the playoffs, there will be someone available to Uduka.

In addition, according to Ke, the Rockets need to sign three players again: one is veteran Adams, the second is Rockets' Jeff Green, and the third is Rockets' oldest Jesseon Tate. The contracts of the three players have expired, and the Rockets will have to keep the three of them.

and other news shows that Adams is expected to sign a three-year, 40 million new contract with the Rockets. Although this contract is less than his previous contract, the contract has become longer. Adams will be 35 years old after he executes the contract. Jeff Green and Tate are expected to receive a veteran's basic salary, so leaving three veterans is also an important job for the Rockets. In addition, the Rockets will implement Van Vreet and Aaron Holiday's team options, and the Rockets have many players in the contract period, so the Rockets' new lineup should have already made a name for themselves next season.

The so-called new lineup is actually similar to the core lineup last season: Van Vreet, Shepard, Jaylen Green, and Holiday in the backcourt; Dillon, Ethan, Amen Thompson, Smith Jr., Whitmore, Tate, and Jeff Green; Shinkyung, Adams and Langdale in the inside.

The Rockets may also use their salary space to sign some players with their basic salary, and the Rockets can also use three two-way contracts to sign players. As for the first round No. 10 draw, it will also become a variable for the Rockets to introduce players - the Rockets will likely trade No. 10 draw for a combat player, so this No. 10 draw is very worth looking forward to.

Of course, if the Rockets take a fancy to a superstar, the No. 10 pick will definitely be taken in. So, this first round No. 10 pick will be one of the variables for the Rockets to sign off this summer offseason. If it can be used normally, the Rockets will be able to introduce at least one player who can enter the rotation next season.
