NBA official website has updated the latest lineup of thirty teams.
In the roster of Rockets, veteran Derek Ferworth can no longer be seen.
This also means that reporter Shams previously revealed that Rocket is about to cut the latter and has been completed.
31-year-old Derek Favors was the 2010 Tanhua Show.
played for Thunder last season, and his averaged 5.3 points, 4.7 rebounds and a shooting percentage of 51.6%.
is short and lacks shooting ability. Although Feworth plays tough, it is not a hot item in the free market.
At the same time, due to age issues, teams like the Thunder and Rockets have low demand for him.
This is also the reason why Favors has been traded for three consecutive seasons since 2019.
Rockets chose to cut Favors, mainly to make room for young players.
But because of the annual salary of 10.18 million US dollars in the new season, it is fully guaranteed.
So, even if the Rockets cut him, they still need to pay him a salary, and that salary will occupy the team's salary space.
According to reporter Yossi Gozlan, this is the seventh contract that the Rockets cut/buyed out in the past 6 months is a fully guaranteed player.
The other six people are DJ-Augustin, Wall , Harckles, Jerome, Maledon, and Troy Williams . Although players above
were cut by the Rockets, their salaries were still paid, totaling more than $62 million.
At present, the Rockets' total salary is only 84.57 million US dollars, ranking third from the bottom in the league.
After cutting Feworth, the players over thirty years old in the team were only Gordon and Boban .
In this way, the Rockets' goal in the new season is very obvious, mainly to train new players, and secondly to work hard for the No. 1 pick.
The continuous clearance of the frontcourt can be regarded as clearing the obstacles to growth for Jabbarry Smith.
He and Green are the two most important players in the Rockets' reconstruction plan.
Just as Rockets general manager Stone said: "The team has a bright future, let's wait and see."
