Today's NBA league is very competitive. If you want to win the championship, you must have a luxurious lineup. Therefore, every offseason, major teams will work hard to upgrade their lineups. To say which team is the most successful this year, the Rockets are definitely the ones closest to 100 points. They have introduced many stars to make up for their shortcomings in various aspects, and now the lineup is very luxurious. So behind such a strong lineup, what is the Rockets' salary for the new season? The whole team is worth 200 million yuan, and the annual salary of 7 people is 10 million yuan, which is too strong.

The Rockets have a perfect lineup on paper, with All-Star Shen Jing at the center position, and Adams and Capela can serve as substitutes or play in the twin-tower lineup. At the forward position, superstar Durant has been introduced, so there is no need to worry about offensive firepower. Finney Smith was also signed, and he and Durant can be said to be one offense and one defense. The backcourt is equally luxurious. Amen Thompson is a top defensive young man who can swing positions 2-3. Point guards VanVleet and Shepard are both very capable.

As a youth team, the Rockets are a team that can reap rookie bonuses because many of their core members are still young. The top salary on the team this year is superstar Durant. He is a veteran and holds a super-maximum contract with an annual salary of US$54.7 million. However, Durant is in a contract year and if the team performs well, it is very possible to reduce his salary and renew his contract. After all, Durant is no longer short of money. The second most valuable player is Shen Jing. His performance last year was quite satisfactory, so he failed to receive a maximum salary contract, so his salary for the new season is only US$33.94 million.

Except for Durant and Shen Jing, no player has an annual salary of more than 30 million. As a veteran, Van Fleet proved himself in this year's playoffs. He signed a new contract with the team with an annual salary of US$25 million. Unfortunately, Van Jordan suffered an injury and needed to be absent for a long time. Adams also performed well in the playoffs. His rebounding ability was very good and he was miraculous in playing in the Twin Towers, so the Rockets also renewed his contract with an annual salary of US$14.13 million.

Next is new aid Finney Smith. The Lakers did not keep him, and his annual salary reached US$12.7 million after switching to the Rockets. Jabari Smith Jr. also renewed his contract to stay with the team, with an annual salary of $12.35 million. Shepard is still on his rookie contract, with an annual salary of $10.6 million. Amen Thompson is also on a rookie contract, with an annual salary of $9.69 million. New aid Capela's contract extension is even more valuable, with his annual salary being US$6.7 million. Ethan's annual salary is US$5.67 million, and the remaining players are on minimum salary contracts.

Overall, the Rockets' lineup is quite luxurious, but the team's salary structure is still very reasonable. Only Durant has a maximum salary contract, while Jabari Smith Jr., Amen Thompson and Shepard are all still in their rookie period. The team can play as many as 10 players and the total salary is US$202 million. If the team is properly integrated, there is a real chance of winning the championship.
