39 million in 3 years, the Rockets renew Adams contract! Team reporter revealed follow-up plans: stay with Van Jordan + chase Durant

3 years and 39 million US dollars, the Rockets renewed the inside Tower Adams in advance with an extremely cost-effective contract! The team-up reporter revealed the follow-up plan: Houston will make a long appointment to keep Van Jordan, and at the same time, pursue Durant with caution.

3 years, 39 million renewal

According to ESPN famous reporter Shams, the Rockets have completed an early renewal with the team's inside Adams, and the two sides have reached a three-year new contract worth $39 million.

As the Rockets introduced the substitute inside from the Grizzlies, the Rockets are patiently waiting for Adams to recover from their health this season to get rewards.

Adams played 57 games during the regular season. The Rockets strictly controlled his playing time, averaging only 13.9 minutes per game, and did not play back-to-back games at all. He averaged only 3.9 points, 5.7 rebounds and 0.5 blocks per game.

It was not until the playoffs that the Rockets began to increase Adams's appearance time. They averaged 22 minutes per game in 7 games in the playoffs, and their data also increased to 5.7 points, 6.6 rebounds and 1.1 blocks, and their shooting percentage increased from 53% to 60%.

Rockets Neptune win-win

Compared with the cold data, Adams' actual tactical value on the field is far beyond expectations, especially when the Rockets' outside fire is silent and the offensive methods are poor, and Uduka has to use the double tower strategy.

Shin Kyung + Adams' double tower strategy is one of the core elements of the Rockets' dragging the series into tiebreak when facing the Warriors in adversity in the playoffs, and the terrifying frontcourt rebounding ability brought by Adams is the foundation of the Rockets' double tower strategy.

Therefore, after the end of the season, the outside world generally predicts that Adams's value will increase. If the Rockets want to keep him, they must provide at least a new contract with a full middle class with an average salary of more than 14.1 million yuan. Before the contract renewal was officially reached, several Rockets and team reporters all estimated that the two sides would reach a three-year, $45 million new contract.

Judging from the results, the three-year, $39 million contract renewal is obviously very cost-effective for the Rockets, which is conducive to the team's continued contract renewal of young people such as Ethan and Xiao Jia in the future.

And according to follow-up reports by salary expert Keith Smith, this is a contract with decreasing salary year by year, with a salary of only 11.87 million in the last year, which will make the Rockets' operating space bigger and bigger in the future.

Adams also became the winner of the contract renewal. According to Shams's subsequent report, the three-year, $39 million contract is full guarantee, which makes Adams lose his pocket.

After winning this full guarantee contract, Adams's career income has reached US$210 million.

Adams himself was also very happy and posted a message on social media to thank the Rockets, team doctors, therapists and fans.

Team Records disclosed the follow-up plan

After defeating Adams, Rockets Sam Amick, Kelly Iko and Danielle Lerner successively published articles to disclose the team's follow-up plan.

Plan 1: Long-term appointment with Van Jordan

First, the Rockets have the option of Van Jordan worth $44.89 million next season, and must decide whether to implement it before June 30.

The Rockets' plan is to keep Van Jordan, but will not implement the player option. Instead, they refuse and try to reach a new contract with Van Jordan with a lower average salary and longer years than the previous three years.

Plan 2: Carefully chase Durant

According to Shams, Durant finally chose three teams, the Rockets, Spurs and Heat. He hopes to join these three teams and is willing to play for them for a long time.

The Suns have been actively contacting the Rockets, hoping to get their first round picks in 25 years (No. 10), 27 years and 29 years, and at the same time they want to get potential new stars like Shin Kyung and Jaylen Green.

In addition, Jia Jia has been frequently mentioned in trading for a while, but the Rockets have been very cautious because they are worried about Durant's injury history and age.

Rockets reporter Adam Spolane also made a clear statement, saying that fans don't have to worry too much about the Rockets spending a lot of money to introduce Durant.

Stone has always had his own pace and style of doing things. Unless he faces the pressure of having to do, he will definitely complete the transaction according to the established strategy and bargaining chips.
