Knicks signed a contract joke

Every offseason, the way the Rockets sign free agents is the main way. After all, going to the free agent market is the strongest signing method for the Rockets. Rockets can always find players with high performance-to-price ratio, such as Little Rivers, Gerald Green and farid, as well as unsuccessful rookie clemons and Gary Kramer.

Now the Rockets have also signed some basic salary players, such as Sterling Brown, Cousins, Jones and Tate. Although Cousins is the only one who is famous, the rest of the signings are also intentional by the Rockets. After all, these players are generally famous, but their strength may still be good. In addition to these signings, the Rockets also completed three deals in the past week. Signing a contract with the Pistons before getting Wood is a major event in the whole offseason of the Rockets. Trading the signing right of No.52 rookie Martin with the King in cash is also a trading operation of the Rockets.

Beijing time1October 28th, 165438+, the rocket completed the third transaction. Perhaps what the Rockets "got" was not as conspicuous as the first two deals, but it was definitely worth talking about. Rockets backup point guard Little Rivers decided to jump out of the contract in the offseason, and decided to join the new york Knicks for 6,543,800 yuan in the following days. Finally, the Rockets reached an agreement with the Knicks, and Little Rivers was sent to the Knicks. At the same time, the Rockets also sent out the signing rights of Spanish golden boy point guards sergio llull and Dragicevic (No.53 rookie in 2008) and Alex Herwell (No.52 rookie in 2005).

The rocket sent out four chips. What did they get? The Rockets got a special deal, the signing right of No.44 rookie Zanon on 20 18. It can be said that although the Rockets sent little Rivers away with a "4 for 2" transaction, it was the best result. The Rockets not only got the signing right of a rookie, but also got a valuable transaction exception, which was too timely for the Rockets with insufficient salary space. It is also the "last assist" that Little Rivers sent to the Rockets before he left.

In the regular season last season, Little Rivers played 68 games for the Rockets, including 4 starts. In 23.4 minutes, he averaged 8.8 points, 2.6 rebounds 1.7 assists, shooting 42% from the field and 36% from three-pointers. However, in the playoffs, Little Rivers' performance was greatly reduced, averaging 4.8 points, 2.5 rebounds 1.3 assists per game. His shooting percentage is only 365,438+0%, and his three-point shooting percentage is only 26%.

This is probably the reason why the rocket failed to renew the contract with Xiaohe. After all, the performance of Little Rivers in the tough battle is really speechless, and the arrival of newcomers such as Sterling Brown and Mei Sen Jones can completely replace Little Rivers. The Rockets now have a total of 16 players on the roster, and there is still $2 million from the hard salary cap. Now, including a special deal that Little Rivers got, Si Tong, the general manager of the Rockets, still has room for signings, and he will not give up easily. It is expected that the Rockets will have some basic salary signing actions in the future. Let's wait and see.
