Rockets welcome strong aid again! Capela returns to Houston for 21.5 million in three years and plays twice in the Western Conference Finals in 6 years

On July 1, the NBA entered the offseason. On the first day of the free agent signing market, the Rockets continued to operate. After signing Finney Smith, the Rockets signed Capela back with a three-year contract of 21.5 million US dollars.

According to Shams, Capela returns to the Rockets with a three-year, $21.5 million full guarantee contract. He will become teammates with Durant, Van Vreet, Amen Thompson and others in the new season. The Rockets fell in the first round of the West last season, and the goal of the new season is undoubtedly the championship.

It should be noted that the Rockets are where Capela's dream began. He started the 2014-15 season to the 2019-20 season, playing for the Rockets for six seasons. During this period, he helped the Rockets compete in the playoffs continuously and reached the Western Conference Finals many times, but unfortunately he has never been able to win the championship.

Capela has officially played for the Hawks since the 2020-21 season and has played for five seasons so far. In last season, Capela made 55 appearances in the regular season, averaging 21.4 minutes per game, scoring 8.9 points, 8.5 rebounds, 1.1 assists, 0.6 steals and 1 block, with a shooting percentage of 55.9%. So far in his career, Capela was elected as the league rebounder in the 2020-21 season.

It should be noted that the Rockets have been operating continuously since the end of last season. They first renewed their contract with coach Uduka, then obtained Durant through a big deal, then renewed Jabbarri Smith Jr., and renewed role players such as Jeff Green. Just earlier today, the Rockets also signed Finney Smith, and now they have Capela again, which can be said to have greatly increased the strength of the lineup.
