Rockets face the trouble of happiness? Famous reporter predicts that the Iron Gate will renew its contract for 120 million yuan: better than Xiao Jia

1:56pm, 7 August 2025Basketball

On August 7, there are no more high-quality players in the free market now, so many teams have begun to pay attention to internal control recently. They have begun to renew their contracts. Doncic has received a contract of 165 million for three years and 165 million for four years and 229 million for four years. In addition to these two, some players may receive contract renewal in the near future, such as Trae Young, who has the opportunity to sign a contract of 229 million for four years and 229 million for four years.

Durant has the opportunity to sign a two-year, 124 million contract extension with the team. The Rockets are hesitant now. After all, Durant is at this age. He is afraid that he will lose his peak and cannot achieve his due level after giving him a big contract. Moreover, the Rockets are too young and talented now, so they still need to maintain the flexibility of their salary space to lay the foundation for the future. Therefore, many players of the team chose to reduce their salary in renewal, including Van Jordan for 2 years and 50 million, and Jabbarri Smith for 5 years and 120 million in five years.

There may be fans here saying: Jabbarry Smith is the price at this, the Rockets didn’t make any money? Smith did not get enough ball rights in the Rockets, but he is already the top blue-collar worker in the league. The future ceiling is worth looking forward to. The key is to imagine that Smith's annual salary will be more than 20 million in four years, and then big contracts will be flying all over the world. Such a price is too great. Durant's contract renewal will probably choose to cut his salary partially, but considering his age, he will not sacrifice much.

The Rockets are also facing the trouble of happiness now. The team is too talented to play. They are all facing the first big contract in their career and do not want to give up, so the Rockets can only satisfy them as much as possible, otherwise they will not sign. Amen is only considering renewing his contract tomorrow summer, but Ethan is now time to discuss renewal. It is worth looking forward to how big the Rockets will give him. After all, this person is regarded as the next small card by Uduka. He and Amen are the future of the team in Uduka's eyes.

Today, TA reporter John talked about Ethan's contract renewal. He said: As of October 21, 22-year first-round players can extend their contracts. For the Rockets, this includes Ethan and Jabbarry Smith. Smith has signed the contract. Now the Rockets may not intend to set a standard for Ethan, because Ethan is better than Smith. Smith's five-year, 122 million contract may be Ethan's minimum standard. After

John said: Of course the real question is how much players in the market are willing to pay. Although Ethan's defense and fast breaking ability make him valuable, his half-court offense limitations may limit his future salary, and he is now similar to the Hawks' Daniels. To be honest, I don't agree with this reporter. Say he is better than Jabbarry Smith? This is a bit over. Although Ethan's defense is top-notch, Xiao Jia's defense is also good, and the ceiling looks higher.

If Xiao Jia and Ethan both enter the free market, it is obvious that Xiao Jia is more popular, after all, a big man with space ability and is healthy enough. The biggest difficulty for Ethan to win a big contract is attendance. Ethan has played a total of 79 games in the past two seasons, and his health cannot be guaranteed. However, his ability is still fine. Last season, he averaged 12 points, 6.4 rebounds, 1.7 steals and 0.9 blocks, with a shooting percentage of 48.7% and 34% of three-pointers.

If trained, you may really be the next Leonard, but don’t learn to be a small card at the attendance rate. Ethan is now in top 3D, but if you consider it comprehensively, I think he is just a contract with an average salary of about 20 million yuan. In this regard, John also made an analysis. He said: Some media valued Ethan at 21.7 million, and the Rockets may give him a three-year contract of 65 million to 70 million. I think this is good.

However, John revealed: The Rockets may not want to renew Ethan's contract yet, because the Rockets have made multiple salary decisions in the next few years. Assuming Durant signs the contract, the Rockets' total salary will be very high in the 26-27 season and 27-28 season. Therefore, the outside world is also doubting whether the Rockets will strategically realize Ethan's value before next season. If he does not renew his contract, there may be more room for operation.

This is very clear. The Rockets may not renew his contract, but trade him. With the potential shown by Ethon, he may be able to trade the All-Star with the first round pick, so that the Rockets can win the championship with all their might. No matter what, a valuable player like Ethon, whether it is renewal or transaction, is of great value. Rocket fans should believe in Stone's operational ability. As for the potential and strength shown by the Rockets since Stone took office, everyone can see it.

Sometimes too much talent can really make people fall into the trouble of happiness. Amen is likely to get a super top salary in tomorrow summer. Teague said before that as long as Amen develops a shooting, he will be the top ten players in the active league. I think this is reasonable. In terms of talent, Amen is definitely one of the best players in the active service. Having said that, what do you want to say about the Rockets today? Welcome to leave a message for discussion.
