On October 19, according to a report by NBA reporter Kenny Smith, the Houston Rockets waived four training camp contract players, Vernon Carey II, Ricky Counsell IV, Tyrese Hunter, and Cameron Matthews. These four players will be signed by the Vipers to play for the Rockets' G League team.
Originally, the Rockets training camp had 21 people. After cutting these 4 training camp contract players, the Rockets' roster returned to the 14+3 roster:
Durant, Shen Jing, VanVleet (reimbursed for the season), Adams, Finney-Smith, Jaa, Ethan, Shepard, Okogie, Amen, Capela, Tate, Holiday, Jeff Green; Harris, Clifford, Day Wesson (three two-way contracts)
Some fans saw that the Hornets waived Dinwiddie and hoped that the Rockets would sign Dinwiddie as the 15th man. In fact, it is not that the Rockets don't want to sign but they can't do it. The Rockets are only 1.25 million away from the second hard cap. Dinwiddie has at least a veteran's basic salary of 3.6 million and needs to occupy 2.29 million in salary space, so currently the Rockets can only enter the new season at 14+3.
The Rockets have won four consecutive games in the preseason. The main lineup and rotation lineup are very strong. In the fourth preseason game, they used the third lineup to crush the Eagles, who played all the main players. Therefore, everyone in the Rockets smiled during the joint training on October 19. The atmosphere in the Rockets team is very good!
Uduka accepted an interview with the media after training. Uduka once again talked about the topic of using twin towers: I am very proud that we can use twin towers. Many teams can't do this if they want to.
Uduka: Everyone wants to play Twin Towers like us, but they actually can't do Twin Towers. We are very proud to be able to use Twin Towers, and our Twin Towers perform very well.
Durant talked about Sheppard's growth: I like Reid's feeling in the past few games. In the last game, he showed his dominance on both ends of the offense and defense. He set the tone for the team. We sent a 2-team + 3-team lineup, and they defeated the Atlanta Hawks, who played all the main players.
