Uduka comes forward, hoping that the Rockets can keep Adams, and the Rockets are only willing to give a basic salary?

The Rockets lost to the Warriors in the first round in the tiebreak, and the performance of the two core players was not very impressive, especially Jaylen Green, who was undoubtedly disappointing, broke out and then disappeared from one game. Although Shin Kyung's data is very good, he does not have a clear advantage in the Warriors' weak inside line. Instead, Adams has a lot of scenes on the court, and his performance in the frame protection and rebounding are very impressive. Moreover, Cole used the "shark-cutting tactic" many times to let Uduka take Adams down, which also shows the importance of Adams from the side.

As the end of this season, Adams will become a free agent. Last season, he earned 12.6 million, played 58 games in the regular season, started 3 games, averaged 22.1 minutes per game, scored 5.7 points, 6.6 rebounds, 0.4 steals and 1.1 blocks, with a shooting percentage of 60%, and a free throw percentage of 53.5%. Adams is a traditional center and does not have three-pointers. The role on the court is to protect the frame, cover, block and rebound. When Westbrook averaged a triple-double, Adams was impressive because at that time, almost only attacked rebounds, and defensive rebounds were given to Westbrook.

Uduka really hopes that the Rockets can retain Adams next season. He specifically mentioned this at the summary meeting. He said: "We have entered the second year and are now in the discussion. I firmly believe that in the second year, everyone in the team will make progress. Adams's joining, I think it has played a great role in our progress this year and has an indispensable job. There is no doubt that this continuity is positive. "

"No doubt, we need him, and he should be part of the plan to develop the team. "

Uduka has already made it clear, it depends on what kind of contract the Rockets can offer Adams. Although Adams does not have three-pointers, many teams still lack a center that can protect the frame like this, and it is still more than enough to be a substitute. For example, the Lakers, Warriors, and the Celtics Horford will probably withdraw after playing, and also needs a substitute center. Do the Nuggets also need a substitute center?

Therefore, it is unlikely that the Rockets will win Adams at the minimum salary. Adams may also try the waters in the free market, and there should be no shortage of the next player.

Adams is 31 years old this year. Although the center's career will be shorter, it is still the year of playing. In the seven-game series between the playoffs and the Warriors, they averaged 22.1 minutes per game, scored 5.7 points, 6.6 rebounds, 0.4 steals and 1.1 blocks, with a shooting percentage of 60% and a three-point shooting percentage of 53.3%, and their efficiency is still very high.

Yesterday Adams updated his IG to thank Houston and wrote: "Thank you, Houston! You brought the energy, passion and firm support to the field this year, which is incredible. I hope we represent some Yuncheng, with the resilience and pride of being Houstonians. "

" Fighting with the brothers is an honor, and being proud of what the children have learned with us! "

What kind of contract do you think Adams deserves? Is 40 million high in 3 years?
