21.5 million in 3 years, signing the Rockets at a bargain price! The 31-year-old Tak cuts its salary by 3 million? Stone s signings adds new ways

The Rockets made several transactions and signings this offseason were basically very successful. The Rockets have introduced many players with high cost performance: they signed the forward guard swingman Okogie with basic salary, and signed the Lakers' former player Dorian Finney Smith with a 4-year middle-class contract. The forward completely replaced Dillon Brooks; and the Rockets did not spend much money on Durant's arrival.

Although Jaylen Green, Dillon Brooks and multiple draft picks were sent, the Rockets saved most of the excellent young players, and that was success. The Rockets actually didn't pay much money to sign Capela. Capela, who became a free agent, unexpectedly chose to return to the Houston Rockets.

Even though there are already many star inside players in this team, such as Shinkyung, Adams and Jabbarry Smith Jr., Capela resolutely chose to return to Houston, and he only signed a new three-year contract of 21.5 million. The Rockets are not short of centers now. In order to get Capela, they can only lay off Langdale because Langdale's contract is not guaranteed. The Rockets replaced Landal with Capela, and their strength at the No. 5 position will be significantly improved next season.

So why did the Rockets sign Capela? In fact, the reason is very simple. Langdale is a center who "can do anything but is not proficient in anything". He has certain shooting ability, but is not the kind of shooting tower; on the defensive end, Langdale looks tall and strong, but in fact his ability to protect the basket under the basket is very average. And there is another biggest problem. Langdale often cannot hold the ball, which is called the "butter hand", which adds a lot of unnecessary mistakes to the Rockets inside.

Capela is completely different. He can't shoot, so he can concentrate on defending and protecting the basket; and he is very familiar with the Rockets' management. Five years ago, he was the starting center of the Rockets. Now he chooses to return to the Rockets and sign at a "baby price". Judging from Capela's data averaging 9 points, 8 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 block last season, he can go to a team to become a starting center and get a contract with an annual salary of about 10 million yuan. Now Capela chooses to join the Rockets with an average annual salary of 7 million yuan. The 31-year-old Talk basically takes the initiative to cut his salary by 3 million yuan.

Actually, isn't it good to get more money from other teams? But Capela is a nostalgic person. When he played for the Hawks, he had been paying attention to the Rockets' games and various news. Now Capela has returned to the place where his dream began - Houston. Even if he had a salary cut, he would be willing to return to the Rockets' most familiar place.

Therefore, this is an inspiration for the Rockets. Manager Stone can recruit some old Rockets players to join. Many old players want to return to the Rockets. After all, this is the place where they have left beautiful memories. For example, the Rockets' former player Beverly said before that the Rockets almost signed him, but they lacked salary space. There are many players who left the Rockets. If they can join the Rockets with a salary cut, I believe they will be very willing.

Although the Rockets don't have much salary space, Stone can play the "favor card" when introducing players; in addition, the Rockets' lineup is now at its peak, and they are one of the biggest favorites of the championship, so they can also attract some veterans who want to "get riding" the championship to join. If these new means are used to introduce players, the Rockets can spend the least money and introduce the best players.
