Recently, the US media NBA Trade Lerts gave the Rockets advice on how to adjust the team in the offseason to become a topic of championship teams, including renewal of the main players. The media believes that the Rockets should give 180 million yuan to renew the current team's main rotation, including VanVleet, Ethan and Adams. This season, the Rockets returned to the playoffs with the second place in the Western Conference, which really gave the Rockets and fans a lot of confidence, so they both wanted to strengthen the team in the offseason to take a step further.

VanVleet's annual salary of about 40 million is indeed too high, but with VanVleet's performance against the Warriors in the first round, it's quite good to give about 20 million. So, the media advised the Rockets to give up VanVleet's $44 million team option next season and re-sign a three-year, 70 million new contract with an average annual salary of $23.33 million. Then the media suggested that Adams renew his three-year contract of about 40 million yuan, with an average salary of 13.33 million yuan. It is considered as giving him a small salary increase or a long contract. Adams would probably be willing to do it.

The media believes that Ethan is 3D and is not considered top 3D. With injury problems, it is recommended to renew Ethan's contract for four years of US$70 million, with an average annual salary of US$17.5 million, which is more suitable. Ethan is a player trained by the Rockets' own draft. He has good defense and shooting abilities, but his personal offensive ability is relatively weak, so an annual salary of about 10 million is more reasonable. As for Jabbarry Smith, a young man from the same class as Ethan, the media suggested using it to get a superstar. After all, Amen Thompson, who replaced him, is really good.

The Rockets return to the playoffs. The most important thing now is to take advantage of the fact that there are still many rookie bonuses to allow the team to win the championship at the lowest cost, so the renewal plan given by the media is relatively reasonable.
