The Rockets have been in the process of rebuilding this season, but unexpectedly, in the process of rebuilding, in addition to these young players, the team has an unexpected surprise, that is, Garrison Matthews. The Rockets didn't have Matthews' plans this season, and they didn't expect the two-way contract player to be able to play such a good form, after he scored double-digit points in a row and had a very stable three-point shooting rate! So far this season, he has also averaged 12.3 points and 3.5 rebounds per game, which is the Rockets' most reliant on outside firepower!
Recently, the Rockets finally officially announced that Matthews' two-way contract would be converted to the NBA's standard contract, and the team would need to free up a place, so they chose to cut Danuel House to make a free spot for Matthews. After Matthews' contract was converted to a standard contract, the Rockets vacated a two-way contract place, which was given to Trevilin Quinn, a player from the team's team, the Vipers!
The Rockets and Matthews signed a four-year, $8.2 million contract, with the first three seasons all being $2 million and the fourth season being $2.2 million, with the last three seasons being non-guaranteed! In fact, this contract is really too cost-effective for the Rockets, to know that Matthews averaged 12 points and 3.5 rebounds per game this season, the efficiency of the outside line is very good, only with an average salary of $2 million contract signed for four years, such a contract is really cost-effective!
And the team operability is still very high, the last three years are non-guaranteed contracts, if his play in the later games is not good, it is difficult to bring help to the team, then the team can completely cut him! Therefore, this signing is absolutely profitable for the Rockets.
And the most important thing is that in addition to Matthews' three-point ability on the outside, his enthusiasm and passion on the court can give enough help to young players and can play a very good positive role, which is also very beneficial for the cultivation of young players such as Shin Kyung and Green!
