Years of contract! Rockets renew Uduka! Top-notch and high salary in the NBA league

On June 20, according to NBA famous reporter Shams, the Rockets and head coach Uduka signed a multi-year contract renewal. With an annual salary of eight figures (10 million US dollars), Uduka has become one of the highest-paid head coaches in the NBA! The original contract of Uduka expires in the summer of 2027, and the term of renewal has not been announced.

The leader speculated that the Rockets were likely to give Uduka a three-year contract, extending his contract to 5 years. In 2021, Uduka became the head coach of the Celtics and led the team to the finals in the first year of coaching. In September 2022, Uduka fell into a "peach scandal" and was suspended by the Celtics for a whole year. He joined the Rockets in April 2023.

Let's briefly review the rumor: Uduka and Celtic logistics manager Kathleen Nimmo Lynch got together, and both had family and children. Uduka and Kathleen were dating at the woman's house and were recorded by the doorbell surveillance! The woman's husband directly found the Celtic management and asked to deal with Uduka.

Both are internal employees of Celtics. The management has no reason to cover up and can only ban Uduka. Uduka doesn't have to worry about his next home and soon finds a new job in the Rockets. In the Rockets' two seasons, Uduka's total regular season record was 93 wins and 71 losses, with a winning rate of 56.7%. 3 wins and 4 losses in the playoffs, losing to the Warriors in the first round of the first round this year.

Rockets player Dillon Brooks said: "We fully trust Uduka. After all, he comes from the Celtics system and is the best coach in defense." Uduka has coached for three seasons so far in his career and won a total of 5 Monthly Coaches. Pacers coach Carlisle coached for 23 seasons before winning the 5th best coach.

This season's regular season, the Rockets ranked second in the Western Conference with 52 wins and 30 losses. The Rockets ranked in the top two in the Western Conference last time, which dates back to the 2017-18 season seven years ago. This season, the Rockets ranked first in the rebounding league, fifth in the defensive efficiency league, sixth in the league in averaging points per game, and both offensive rebounds and second offensive scores are 1 in the league!

Finally welcome discussion: Do you think Uduka can lead the Rockets out of the West?
