Adams renews the Rockets for 39 million in 3 years! Van Jordan also intends to stay in the team, Uduka wants Durant
9:31am, 15 June 2025Basketball
On June 15, as most teams in the league ushered in the offseason, everyone is also actively operating. In the recent operation, the Knicks are the most active, and they have always wanted to interview the current coach. Netizens jokingly called Meng De of the NBA. After being rejected one after another, they realized the reality and they plan to interview two coaches, Jenkins and Mike Brown, who have been laid off this season, next week. That's right. Just thinking about eating ready-made ones, the Knicks are really good at choosing.
In addition, like the Warriors, Lakers, Rockets and Clippers who are more concerned, they have not moved since the offseason. It can be seen that most of their teams plan to consider signings or trading after the finals. Today, the Rockets completed their first offseason operation. According to famous reporter Shams, Adams and the Rockets reached a three-year, 39 million contract renewal contract, and this contract is completely guaranteed.
Adams' contract is definitely worth the money. I believe everyone is familiar with Aquaman. He is an existence that cannot show value in data. He averaged 5.7 points, 6.6 rebounds and 1.1 blocks per game in the playoffs this season. It is indeed not very good just looking at the data, but friends who have watched his game know how great Adams is, especially in the playoffs, Adams is simply a giant god, and Warriors players are helpless in the face of him.
Adams' tactical value is too high. His high-quality pick-and-roll screen can create space for teammates to take off easily. His franchise protection ability is also top-notch. In addition, his killing ability and rebounding ability in the inside are also top-notch in the league. As long as he holds the ball in the inside, neither opponent can necessarily limit him. The advantage in size and strength is too great, and the protection of the frontcourt board is even more stable. Adams is a player who can change the opponent's defensive formation, although this contract renewal contract is definitely worth the money.
Perhaps the higher-order data can better reflect Adams' value. His net efficiency in the playoffs reached 14.1 and he could win 14.1 points in a hundred rounds. After leaving Adams behind, the Rockets' next target is Van Jordan. The Rockets decide whether to execute Van Jordan's contract at the latest on June 30. According to famous reporter Shams, both the Rockets and Van Jordan are interested in reuniting. He still has a large contract of 44.9 million a year, and both parties will likely choose to re-sign the contract.
and Shams also gave the same answer. He said that the Rockets and Van Jordan have reached a preliminary intention to renew their contract for a long time. The team hopes to give up Van Jordan's last year's contract and instead sign a contract with a longer term and lower average salary. The specific amount of this contract will be, the US media has not disclosed, but I think it will be a three-year average salary of about 30 million yuan, considering Van Jordan's ability and the Rockets' ideal price.
Van Jordan averaged 18.7 points, 4.1 rebounds, 4.4 assists and 1 steal in the playoffs this season, with a three-point shooting percentage of 43.5%, and averaging 3.9 three-pointers. Although he performed poorly in the regular season, Van Jordan proved his ability in the playoffs. His experience and toughness are needed by the Rockets, and his playing style is also very consistent with Uduka's system. Uduka chose Van Jordan between him and Harden.
From the past few years, Van Jordan can indeed lead his teammates to lead his teammates to the defensive end as the leader. His field control ability is also very good. The biggest gap compared to the first-line point guard in the league may be that his ability to hold the ball and attack, so the Rockets don't want to give him a super top salary. If Van Jordan had a three-year contract, then the Rockets would make a profit. Van Jordan is now 31 years old. Both he and Adams devoted their peak three years to the Rockets, which is definitely what the Rockets want.
Then it is Durant's next home. We just reported yesterday that Durant's next home is choosing one of three, but now it has become one of two. According to famous reporter Jack Fisher, Durant's most likely next home is the Timberwolves or the Heat. Among the news that came out yesterday, there were still Rockets, but now the Rockets have withdrawn from the group chat? The reason for this is that although Uduka really wants Durant, Stone does not want it. He believes that Durant is not in line with the team's future development prospects.
Stone still hopes that the Rockets will pursue their record through their young talents like the Thunder. If they get Durant, the advantages and disadvantages are still obvious. The advantage is that the Rockets can immediately become a championship-level team. They make up for the biggest shortcomings of the lineup - the team's scoring ability at critical moments, but the disadvantages are also obvious. Durant needs a super maximum salary contract, 120 million in 2 years. His contract may lock the team's future and affect the growth of young players.
The Suns still hope to trade with the Rockets. After all, they have multiple draft picks on the Rockets, but if Stone doesn't want to trade, the Rockets probably won't want him either. Having said that, what do you want to say about the Rockets today? Welcome to leave a message for discussion.
