On July 2, Beijing time, the second day of the NBA free market, following the signing of Paul, Harden and George, Klay first signed and then replaced the Warriors to join the Mavericks.

Odd Soldier returns 9.6 million in 2 years

According to Shams of The Athletic, the Rockets have signed guard Aaron Holiday to a two-year, $10 million contract.

Rockets reporter Kelly Iko followed up by noting that the Rockets used a two-year exception to sign Aaron Holiday with a team option for the second year.

Local Houston reporter David Weiner further corrected that Aaron Holiday signed a contract with the Rockets not for a two-year, $10 million, but a two-year, $9.6 million, a salary of $4.668 million for the '24-25 season, and a team option of $4.9014 million for the '25-26 season.

One of the Rockets' on-the-spot players last summer, Holiday had a stellar 23-24 season, playing a reliable backup point guard.

Played in 78 regular season games for the Rockets, averaging 16.3 minutes per game, he could efficiently score 6.6 points, 1.6 rebounds and 1.8 assists, and shoot 38.7% from three-point range, making him one of the few reliable three-point points on the lineup.

Since the Rockets selected Shepard at the same position with the prospecting pick, it is expected that Holiday will further compress his role in the 24-25 season, and it is likely that he can only play the third choice at the No. 1 position.

The E10 contract keeps Nate Hinton and Samuels

According to Rockets reporter Kelly Iko, the Rockets have signed Nate Hinton to an E10 contract, who will represent the Rockets in Summer League.

Soon after, Kelly Iko followed up by pointing out that Samuels would also represent the Rockets in Summer League, and since Kelly Iko had previously made it clear that the Rockets would not continue to offer the two two-way contracts, Samuels would also be on an E10 contract.

According to the roster, the Rockets only have a two-way contract left, and Samuels and Nate Hinton will both fight for that spot.

With a series of operations, the Rocket 15-man roster is as follows

Expected starters: VanVleet, Jalen Green, Dillon, Jabari Smith Jr., Shin Jing;

10 subs: Amen Thompson, Jeff Green, Landale, Adams, Tate, Holiday A.J. Griffin, Ethan, Whitmore and Shepard.

In addition to the 15 players on official contracts, Janathan Williams and Nfarly Daunt are on two-way contracts.

Janathan Williams, a 25-year-old guard, played for the Rockets last season, averaging 2.9 points and 1.1 rebounds per game.

Nfarly Daunt, a '24 draft pick, played as a center and averaged 19.5 points, 10.5 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 2 steals and 2.1 blocks per game in his final year of college.

The Rockets also have a reinforcement backhand

After signing Holiday to the club, Keith Smith was quick to point out that the Rockets' current 15 full-length contract salaries are $6.7 million short of the luxury tax line (about $170.814 million).

$13.9 million from the first hard cap ($178.132 million) and $24.8 million from the second hard cap of the luxury tax ($188.931 million).

If the Rockets need to free up further salary space, they could also cut Jeff Green, whose $8 million annual contract is non-guaranteed until July 11.
