Class of 2021 rookie with an early renewal deadline.
Let's take a look at the summary first:
No. 1: Cade-Cunningham 5 years 224 million; 2: Jalen Green 106 million for 3 years.
No. 3: Evan Mobley 5 years 224 million; 4: Scottie Barnes 224 million for 5 years.
No. 5: Jalen Suggs 5 years 150.5 million; 8: Wagner Jr. 224 million in 5 years.
No. 14: Moses Moody, 3 years, 39 million; No. 15: Kispert 4 years $54 million.
No. 16: $185 million for 5 years in Shenjing; 17: Trey Murphy III 4 years 112 million.
No. 20: Jalen Johnson 150 million for 5 years.
Looking back, the success rate of this session is still quite high, and many players have received 100 million yuan in early contract extensions.
Today, let's mainly talk about the two waves of rocket operations.
Let's start with Jalen Green.
He agreed to a three-year, $106 million rookie contract extension with his parent team.
The details are as follows:
$33.3 million for 2025-26, $36 million for 2026-27, $36 million for 2027-28 (player option).
In addition, Green has a 10% trade margin in this contract.
If you are an old fan in front of the screen, and you don't pay much attention to the NBA anymore, don't think that the current players get a lot of annual salaries of more than 30 million, which is a common phenomenon in the league today.
In a few years, players like Doncic and Wembanyama will have an annual salary of 70 or 80 million...
So, Jalen Green is not expensive at all.
The length of the contract is quite special.
He became the first player in NBA history to sign a 2+1 rookie with a nine-figure contract total.
What is the meaning or purpose of the short covenant? The team and the players have their own starting points.
The Rockets still have expectations for Green, hoping that the 22-year-old can become a reliable backcourt core All-Star for the Rockets.
However, if the contract is 5 years long, it is easy to lock in, which avoids the risk of long-term contract.
Jay Lun can be regarded as a self-aware and heartfelt choice, knowing that he does not have the level of the highest salary, but he also retains the flexibility to change the contract after he fights for it.
To put it bluntly, he's not good enough.
Shen Jing 5 years 185 million early contract extension Rockets, the final year player option.
Last season, he played in 63 regular-season games for the team, averaging 21.1 points, 9.3 rebounds, 5 assists and 1.2 steals in 32.4 minutes per game.
The contract is below the salary cap and $39 million less than the extensions for Cunningham, Mobley, Barnes and Wagner Jr.
Shen Jing chose to avoid risks and chose to settle for safety.
But he is the first player after Doncic and Blowing Young to sign a five-year rookie contract extension with a player option.
Shin Kyung can fully accept the price, and the management is certainly happy to sign him to a long-term contract, because in terms of performance, he is more stable than Jalen Green.
The team's general manager, Stone, is level.
The way to keep the twin stars, the starting salary Green is a little higher than Shen Jing, Shen Jing's contract is two years longer than Green, and the average salary is also a little higher.
It seems to make sense, the brothers are playing well in the new season, and the team is not biased...
And finally, about rockets.
Many fans are excited about the future of the team, "seven sons", "eight sons".
In the post-Harden era, they did hoard very talented young people.
Jalen Green, Shin Jing, Jabari Smith, Amen, Shepard, Ethan, Whitmore...
The point I want to say is that don't be optimistic about the seedlings, but if a real big brother can't emerge, the "eighteen sons" are useless.
The Thunder, also in the West, is the best example, and Alexander, who is at the level of an MVP, is the key factor in the team's great progress.
When it's time to make a result, Houston Rockets, who can really be the flag-bearer?
The two who renewed their contracts today always feel that they are still almost meaningless, especially when they are used together, but they don't lead the team to play well.
Jalen Green, before he entered the league, how high the media praised him, and "Joe on the Lower Branch" came out...
It is said that the rookie has been watching for 3 years, and now the rocket is ready to watch it for another 3 years...
