as of september 15th, beijing time, the new season is getting closer and closer, and the houston rockets have entered a tense preparation stage. recently, they have held training camps frequently, and most team members, including young players, have actively participated, except for veterans dillon and adams who have not yet returned to the team. it is reported that jalen green has become the most active player in the rockets' training camp, and almost all training is initiated by him. this shows that green has a certain leadership temperament, but the rockets are currently facing a difficult choice.

compared with other 21st rookies, the top four starters, including cunningham, mobley and barnes, have all renewed their contracts with their parent teams for a maximum salary of $224 million for five years, and the incentive clauses may bring it up to $269 million. only jalen green, who ranks second, has not received a contract extension from the rockets. given that the new season is about to start, the rockets may not renew his contract. this is not because the rockets are unwilling to spend money, but because the management has to make a choice. because shen jing is also a rookie in 21, the team cannot give two players super-maximum contracts at the same time. or only give one person a maximum salary and let the other take a pay cut, which is obviously an unfair situation.
