Team reporter revealed: The 37-year-old former player returns to the Rockets! He is not a player and will hold a management position

The Rockets have become one of the best teams in the West this season, and their overall record ranks fourth in the league, second only to the Thunder, Cavaliers and Celtics. It can be said that although there are no top stars among the Rockets players, their overall strength, especially the defensive end, is doing very well. The Rockets are a team that relies on overall play, not on a single player, so we have seen this phenomenon many times this season: even if a core player of the Rockets is absent due to injury or is suspended, the Rockets can still have other substitutes to play their roles, and no matter who is missing, the record will not be too bad.

Some teams are not like this. Without their leading core, their record will plummet. Therefore, lack of superstars but everyone can play, which is also one of the advantages of the Rockets over other teams.

Although the Rockets did not enter the second round of the playoffs and were eliminated in the first round, the Rockets' regular season record is very convincing. In fact, in addition to the efforts of Rockets players and the intention of coach Uduka, the Rockets management's series of operations in recent years can also be said to be a great success: in addition to trading Harden for many first-round picks, the Rockets have also selected many talented newcomers by themselves, and in addition to some veterans introduced two years ago, the Rockets have become a first-class team in the league. The Rockets not only need to sign players this summer, but also need to make some large deals to win some All-Star players. And according to the latest reports, the Rockets' first signing has been born this summer. Interestingly, the Rockets didn't sign a free agent, who signed 37-year-old veteran DJ Augustin.

On June 6, according to Rockets reporter Carey Iko, former Rockets player Augustine did not continue to play for the Rockets as a Rockets player, and he will join the Rockets' management to serve as a management position. Although we don’t know what position this 37-year-old veteran holds in the Rockets now, although Augustine was not tall and not very strong when he played, he was good at playing with his brain and was also a player with a very high football quotient.

As the Rockets' substitute point guard that year, Augustine played a total of 54 games for the Rockets, averaging 7.3 points, 1.6 rebounds and 2.8 assists per 17 minutes. Last year, Augustine officially announced her retirement and bid farewell to the NBA. However, although she no longer plays, Augustine still stays in the league. Now he has reached a signing contract with the Rockets and joins the Rockets as a management staff member.

The Rockets look very optimistic about DJ Augustine, and we also know that Augustine's home is in Houston, and he has a close connection with the city. Now that the Rockets management has added more talent, they will become better. But we hope that the Rockets can get a star player to help the team this summer's offseason, which is what the Rockets need most now.
