On July 11, the Rockets officially announced five contract renewals, renewing Jabbarri Smith Jr. in advance for 5 years and $122 million, retaining VanVleet for 2 years and $50 million, and signing back to Tate for 1 year and 3 million, renewing Jeff Green and Aaron Holiday with a basic salary, and the core lineup was officially locked.
It is worth mentioning that the team also found the "Eastern Egg" 16 years ago - On July 11, 2009, Durant tweeted, "He is heading to Houston, very excited", and the Rockets official forwarded it and wrote "16 years have passed, but he is still passionate." Durant, who was introduced through seven-party trade this summer, will wear the No. 7 jersey in the new season and form a championship team with the renewed lineup.
Currently, the Rockets' 14-man roster has been formed, including Durant, Van Vleet, Jabbarri Jr., Shinkin, Capela and other new and old core cores. They ranked second in the Western Conference last season but stopped in the first round. Now that the lineup is upgraded, it is worth looking forward to whether they can go further in the playoffs.
