21.5 million signings in three years, the Rockets No. 5 position has been upgraded! Both offense and defense have been improved, and it is not unfair to have Randale been laid off.

Almost half of the team's players left during the offseason this summer. The three rotation players of the White Devils, Jaylen Green and Dillon Brooks, were traded last season, and the three two-way players, McVeigh, Dante and David Rody, were all given up and were not renewed. Even players like Nate Williams and Langdale were directly cut. In fact, Langdale has a chance to become a team's main substitute center. Many teams are interested in him in the summer, but after Langdale was cut, he signed a new contract with a basic salary. His new owner is the Memphis Grizzlies.

In fact, Langdale's three-point shooting percentage last season was as high as 42%, making it the most stable center for the Rockets' three-point shooting in the interior. However, on the offensive end, his "butter hand" often cannot catch the ball and makes many mistakes. Although he has a certain defensive ability, independent offensive ability, and can also shoot three-pointers, it is not a pity that Langdale was finally cut, because the Rockets also quickly upgraded their center position.

The new player Capela, signed 21.5 million in three years, is the biggest reinforcement for the Rockets to the inside this summer. Although Adams stayed in the team, centers such as Adams and Shin Kyung cannot compete with other big men in the West. The Rockets will use the double tower lineup more. After Capela arrives, although she may not get too many opportunities to play, once Adams rests or is injured and absent, Capela can become the Rockets' second center and the first substitute for star center Alperon Shinkyung.

Moreover, Capela's contract of 21.5 million in the past three years is not expensive. His contract next season is only $6.8 million, and his average annual salary is only about 7 million. This is not particularly expensive for a star defensive center in the league. Capela is more nostalgic when she is willing to join the Rockets. After all, Capela has always believed that she is a member of the Rockets. After joining the Hawks, he has also been paying attention to the Rockets' game situation and their performance.

Now that I have returned to the Rockets, it is obvious that the Rockets' center position has been upgraded due to Capela's arrival. On the offensive end, although Capela cannot shoot or pull out to the outside to shoot three-pointers, his ability to catch the ball in the inside and attack the basket is far better than Landale; and Capela has completely beat Landale on the defensive end. At that time, Capela was the absolute core of the Rockets' inside line, and his defensive contribution at the basket was no less than any center in the league.

Therefore, the Rockets' interior has increased their strong ability to eat cake, and there are more choices on the defensive end because of Capela's arrival. The Rockets' interior movement speed, toughness on the defensive end, rebound protection ability and ability to send blocks have been improved.

The three main centers in the Rockets are Shin Kyung, Adams and Capela. In the entire league, such center configurations are among the best. So, since Capela joins, it is not unfair to be laid off at all. After all, Landel's annual salary of 8 million yuan in contract is not cost-effective compared to Capela. The Rockets spent less money to sign a better center, so Manager Stone's operation is still fine.
