Team story about the future of the Rockets Seven Sons: White Demons are robbed, Shepard will be valued, and the two may leave the team

On June 4, in the previous article, we talked about the Rockets' plan to sign up for the offseason. Interested friends can check out the previous article I posted. In this article, we mainly talk about the stay and departure of these players in the Rockets. Today, the Rockets recorded Kelly lko talked about whether the Rockets' Seven Sons and some major rotation players will stay in the team in the future. Let's take a look together. The seven Sons will inevitably disintegrate in the future.

Let's talk about some role players first. According to team reporters, Adams, Jeff Green and Tate will become free agents this summer, and the Rockets will give priority to renewing Adams. If Adams leaves the team, the Rockets may sign Lopez to fill his vacancy. If the other two want to return to the team, they can only sign a veteran's basic salary contract. The Rockets also intend to implement the team options contract for Holiday Jr. next season.

However, Holiday's playing time may decline next season, because the Rockets intend to increase Shepard's playing time. Team insiders believe that Shepard's ball quotient and space can help the team, which is a good improvement for the Rockets with poor positional combat capabilities. The team's coaching staff also hopes that Shepard can realize his potential as soon as possible. This Tanhua has been buried for a season and finally has the opportunity to go on the court to prove himself. The main reason why the Rockets have lost interest in getting Durant and Booker recently is that they still have great expectations for Jaylen Green. Previously, the team's general manager Stone also said that he would not deny Jaylen Green's performance throughout the season because of a series, and he still highly recognized Green. Therefore, as long as there is no trade in players at the level of letters, Jaylen Green, Shin Kyung and Shepard will not leave the team, and as for Amen, he will not be sent away. He is a non-sale product of the team, and even if it is a trade in letters, he will not be sent away.

The most attractive player among the Rockets now is Whitmore. According to the news sources of the league and the team, several teams have asked about the possibility of getting Whitmore. The outside world recognizes the forward line who does not get playing time in the Rockets and believes that he has the ability to become a rotation player. However, the Rockets also recognize Whitmore's potential, and they are optimistic about the future of the White Devils in the team.

The White Demon's team has not yet submitted a transaction application. To be honest, if the Rockets cannot agree to the White Demon's enough playing time and ball rights this summer, he may really force the palace to leave the team. After all, the talent is not bad, and the combat power is also very good, but the Rockets are not giving others playing time, which is a waste of his talent. The White Demon had expressed dissatisfaction before. He wanted to get more playing time. This season, he averaged 9.4 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist. He has a very good combat power.

The Rockets Seven Sons have already talked about 5. Now, except for the White Demon, the other four are likely to not be able to leave. The other two, Jabbarry Smith and Ethan, are also more concerned by everyone. After all, they are both facing early renewal this offseason. According to the Rockets, if the Rockets fail to renew their contracts with Jabarry Smith and Ethan this summer. Jabbarry Smith lost his core position this season, and everyone knows what the Rockets do this for.

They are planning to reduce the renewal price of Jabarri Smith, and the news is now rumored that the Rockets have no intention of renewing Jabarri Smith this summer. They hope that Smith can become an Antetokounmpo or Durant’s deal. Although Xiao Jia did not meet the outside world's expectations for this Tanhua, Jabarry Smith is now a top blue-collar worker. He is a very outstanding 3D. He failed to realize Tanhua's talent mainly because he did not have absolute ball rights.

But the Rockets obviously have no intention of keeping him now. Despite his talent, Amen Thompson has taken over his position. As for Ethan, according to the Rockets, if the Rockets fail to renew Ethan, they will match any offer tomorrow. The meaning is very clear. I don’t want to give you the largest contract I can give. If you choose to test the free market tomorrow, I am willing to match the highest price they can give.

Even the highest price given by other teams is cheaper than the Rockets' direct contract renewal. This was how the Suns did when they renewed their contract with Ayton. They did not give him a super maximum salary of 180 million in five years, but only matched the Pacers' quotation for Ayton for 130 million in four years, and the Suns saved 50 million. According to the current situation, as long as there is no big deal, the Rockets will basically not leave. The most likely possibility is that the White Devil forces the palace to leave the team, followed by Jabbarry Smith will be used as a bargaining chip.

As the career deepens, I believe that the Rockets' Seventh Son will gradually go their separate ways. After all, the team will not have so much salary to renew their contracts in the future. Having said that, what do you want to say about these players? Welcome to leave a message for discussion.
