194 million, the 14-man roster is released! Stone may have a major deal with the Rockets in the future

On July 1, the first day after the NBA free market opened, the Rockets completed multiple signings. The Rockets signed Finney Smith and Capela for 4 years and 52 million yuan, 21.5 million yuan respectively, and three basic salary contracts to renew Holiday, Tate, Green and others.

As of now, the Rockets' roster has reached 14 people.

3 centers: Shin Kyung, Adams, Capela.

6 forwards: Ethan, Durant, Jabbarry Smith, Fanny Smith, Tate, Green.

5 defenders: Van Vleet, Amen Thompson, Whitmore, Shepard, Holiday.

The Rockets' 14-man roster, 11 of them were members of the Rockets last season, with only three players including Durant, Fanny Smith and Capela being new players.

The Rockets may have subsequent transactions. The Rockets currently have a total salary of US$1.94 billion. On the one hand, the Rockets have postponed the deadline for Landale to execute the contract until July 7. If Landale's 8 million contract is added, the Rockets' total salary will be as high as 203 million, exceeding the first tycoon line. On the other hand, Tari Ethan has not yet negotiated a contract renewal with the Rockets. Jabbarry Smith has signed a five-year, $122 million contract with the Rockets. If Ethan does not renew his contract in advance this summer, it is not ruled out that the Rockets will trade him this summer. If you wait until the middle of the season, the Rockets may be subject to many restrictions in the transaction due to their capacity space.

More importantly, the Rockets also have a large number of first-round picks, and may give up to 5 first-round picks and 5 swap rights. Among them, the first round picks include the Suns' signing in 2027 and 2029, and the Rockets' three first round picks between 2028 and 2032. The five first round swap rights are: the Nets' swap rights in 2027, the Mavericks' swap rights in 2029, and the Rockets' three swap rights between 2027 and 2031.

Currently, only the Bucks forward Antetokounmpo is left for further trading. This summer, the Bucks only renewed their contracts with players such as Trent, Porter Jr., Prince, Portis, and others, and did not make any achievements in the free agent market. Meanwhile, starting center Lopez joined the Clippers. In addition to Lillard's reimbursement next season, Antetokounmpo is likely to leave this summer. If Antetokounmpo leaves the team, the Rockets have a full chance to get the player who is one of the seven-time regular season MVP leaders.
