Sam Dekker (4 年 790万美金; 2017-18, 2018-19 队伍选择权). 如同他自己说的 Ariza完全知道自己的火箭所扮演的角色 而且这次回到火箭 他也愿意作个苦力的角色 的确 他上一季开始真的上场了很多时间 不过自从2014年11月Brewer来到火箭後 Ariza不用再辛苦的长时间上场了 Brewer擅长快攻 接下来也能发挥他在侧翼攻击的长才 McDaniels也拥有类似的天份 而且慢慢变成一个强力防守的球员 不过火箭还在养他 Dekker也跟McDaniels类似情况 也是正在养成的球员 不过火箭看好他能快速成长 因为他有很丰富的大学篮球经验 虽然Dekker是小前锋 但是火箭如果打小阵容时 他也能打到4号位 ================================== PF Power forward Donatas Motiejunas (1 年 230万美金). Terrence Jones (1 年 250万美金). Chuck Hayes (将会 1年150万 部份保障). Montrezl Harrell (尚未签约新秀). 上一季 这个哈灯来到队上第三年的2014-2015球季 怎样火箭都不会料到队上会有伤兵 但是 火箭在开季第四场就伤了Terrence Jones 并且整个季後赛都伤了D-MO 不过火箭在接下来这一季 对自己年轻的4号位很有信心 此话怎说 因为火箭不再积极留下这位 想要争取更明确角色定位的Josh Smith 火箭给不起 因此贾诩另寻出路 和快艇签约 D-MO的缺席给火箭在季後赛带来很大的麻烦 因为火箭无法填补他在低位进攻 screen帮档,等等的空缺 D-MO也即将从他的背部手术中痊癒归队 也即将参与随队训练 Jones一整季都在试着找回他与队友的化学效应与默契 但是没有很好效果 他是一个很好的档拆选手 预期未来将会跟Lawson有很好的效应 火箭尚未签下老将海爷Hayes 但是火箭希望借重他的防守以及领导气质 来带领新秀Harrell成长 ========================== C Center Dwight Howard (2 年 4550万美金; 2016-17 球员选择权).

They hoped to add the sort of playmaker who would take some of the load off James Harden. And they hoped to keep as much of last season's core together as possible. With July and the bulk of offseason deal-making complete, they did both. Far less certain is whether that will be enough and how the question marks that come with the annual summer reboot will be answered. With the trade for guard Ty Lawson, 27, the Rockets got the kind of player the y wanted to help initiate or finish the offense so Harden does not have to do both so often. They even got him at a reduced price, costing no one from last season's full-strength rotation, though he was such a bargain because he had been ordered into a private alcohol treatment program following his second DUI arrest in six months. If Lawson and his new team can overcome their health issues, the Rockets will be able to consider their summer roster retooling a success. But the top of th e Western Conference appears stronger than last season. ROCKETS The Rockets want and need guard James Harden, center, to initiate offense and finish at the rim, but they acquired Ty Lawson and Marcus Thornton to ease the pressure on their bearded superstar. Rockets try to upgrade, but face a better Western Conference Ty Lawson poses for a portrait during Denver Nuggets NBA basketball media day on Monday, Sept. 30, 2013, in Denver.

(AP Photo/Ronda Churchill) Cy-Fair's Harding helps blaze path of women coaches in NBA It's anybody's guess as to where the Thunder's Kevin Durant ends up once the free-agency dust settles next summer. But he's certain to see dollar signs. NBA free agency turns its hungry eyes to Durant in 2016 The Rockets could have reason to consider themselves better than they were on their way to the West's second seed and the conference finals, but Golden Stat e and San Antonio, the past two NBA champions, appear to be at least as strong a s when winning their titles. The Los Angeles Clippers and Oklahoma City look to be fortified with greater depth and health. Most of the Rockets' work is done. Free-agent forward Chuck Hayes and second-round pick forward Montrezl Harrell have yet to sign contracts, but both are certain to be on the roster. The Rockets have made an offer to guard Jason Terry. But given that it would be a minimum contract and with little playing time likely available, the Rockets consider it unlikely he will return, said a person with knowledge of the situation, speaking on the condition of anonymity because of the uncertainty o f the situation. With 12 players signed to guaranteed contracts with the July deal-making complete, here is a look at the roster. Point guard Ty Lawson (contract status: signed for two seasons worth $26 million; 2016-17 non-guaranteed). Pat Beverley (contract status: signed for four seasons, $23 million; 2018-19 non-guaranteed). The Rockets began the month by locking up Beverley, believing he will respond well to his first contract since they plucked him out of the Russian League as a free agent. Beverley's defense was missed even as the Rockets had postseason success without him. But the hope is that by playing fewer minutes with the addition of Lawson, he can be more durable with his 94 feet of defense. The greatest on-court question with Lawson will be whether the Rockets need hi m most with the starters or the second unit. He likely will get ample time with both. The primary motivation for picking him up was to give the Rockets a second playmaker and allow Harden to initiate or finish the offense, but not have to do both so often. He also will strengthen the attack when teams double the ball out of Harden's hands early. But Lawson also is an excellent fit in pick-and-roll and on the break with the Rockets' second unit, which often lacked a traditional playmaker. If the Rockets do not sign Terry, they could need to find a third point guard, especially with Lawson likely to face a suspension to start the season. Shooting guard James Harden (contract status: signed for three years, $52.4 million). Marcus Thornton (contract status: signed for one year, $1.49 million). Harden said he wanted to develop more offense off the ball, working around screens to get catch-and-shoot opportunities. He could get a great many more o f those shots with Lawson, but the Rockets will want Harden to do what he does best, running pick-and-rolls and attacking the basket. The additions of Lawson as a playmaker and Thornton as a scorer could allow coach Kevin McHale to trim some of Harden's minutes. Thornton fills another Rockets void from last season as a scorer off the bench who can get his own shot. Playing with Harden or Lawson, Thornton could get more of the corner 3s he shoots especially well. Small forward Trevor Ariza (contract status: signed for three years, $23.4 million). Corey Brewer (contract status: signed for three years, $23.3 million). KJ McDaniels (contract status: signed for three years, $10 million). Sam Dekker (contract status: signed for four years, $7.9 million; 2017-18, 2018-19 team options). As advertised, Ariza returned to the Rockets keenly aware of his role and entirely willing to stay within that job description. He played too many minutes early in the season, before the December acquisition of Corey Brewer. With Brewer on board throughout the season, the Rockets should be able to keep Ariza's playing time at manageable numbers. Brewer was valuable as a finisher on the Rockets' fast break and could continu e to play at both wing positions. McDaniels has similar potential and could be ready to be a strong defensive player, but he's signed as a prospect to develop. Dekker fits in the same category and likely will spend much of the season in the D-League, but he does have potential to develop quickly given his college experience. Though viewed as a small forward, he has potential as a stretch four if the Rockets choose to match up small. Power forward Donatas Motiejunas (contract status: signed for one year, $2.3 million). Terrence Jones (contract status: signed for one year, $2.5 million). Chuck Hayes (contract status: will sign for one year, $1.5 million, partially guaranteed). Montrezl Harrell (contract status: unsigned rookie). The Rockets had no reason to expect injuries to players in just their third seasons, but lost Jones after the fourth game of the season and Motiejunas for the entire postseason. The Rockets' confidence in their young power forwards was made clear when they were not more aggressive to keep Josh Smith, who signed with the Clippers because he wanted a more concrete role than the Rockets could offer. Motiejunas' absence caught up to the Rockets in the Western Conference finals when they could not make up for missing his abilities in the low post and as a screen-setter and ball mover that helped make the offense work. He is on track to be ready to return from his back injury and subsequent surgery in time for training camp. Jones spent much of the season trying to catch up for the time lost, never finding the consistency he has lacked. An outstanding pick-and-roll player, he could benefit from the addition of Lawson at point guard. Hayes has not signed, but the Rockets want to bring back his defense and leadership while Harrell develops. Center Dwight Howard (contract status: signed for two years, $45.5 million; player option for 2016-17). Clint Capela (contract status: signed for one year, $1.2 million; team options for 2016-17, 2017-18). Howard has no lingering issues with the knee problems that cost him half the season or the injury that limited him in the Western Conference finals. Despit e his offensive struggles before he shut it down midseason, he remained on an elite level defensively. His athleticism returned impressively in the final days of the regular season and first two rounds of the playoffs. Capela emerged at about the same time, showing excellent potential as a finisher, shot-blocker and rebounder ahead of schedule. The Rockets were as impressed with Capela's demeanor and work ethic, leading t o the decision to make him Howard's primary backup. --
