Rockets guarantee Jae'Sean Tate's contract for next season, sign David Nwaba

Jae'Sean Tate 的下賽季合約獲得火箭隊全額保障

該隊也正式宣佈簽下 David Nwaba

Rockets forward Jae’Sean Tate accomplished too much as a rookie last season
to be asked to do more than watch the summer league from the front row.

He also played too well to have a contract that was not guaranteed.

The Rockets on Sunday guaranteed Tate’s contract for next season, though he
was signed to a three-year deal as an undrafted free agent before the 2020-21season, a person with knowledge of the unusual move said.

The decision to guarantee Tate’s contract was directed by Rockets owner
Tilman Fertitta, the individual familiar with the decision said, with
Fertitta wanting to reward Tate but also to send the message that Tate’s
determined play and attitude last season should be considered an example of
the team’s priorities.

Tate was a first-team All-Rookie selection, playing 70 of the 72 games,
limping through injuries in the final weeks of the season when the Rockets
struggled to have enough available players to play games. He averaged 11.3
points and 5.3 rebounds.

The move with Tate was not the only step taken on Sunday.

The Rockets also officially signed free agent forward David Nwaba in Las
Vegas, according to an individual with knowledge of the move. Nwaba last weekagreed to a three-year, $15 million contract to return to the Rockets with
the third season at a team option. Nwaba averaged 9.2 points and was the
top-rated defensive player on the Rockets last season before his season was
ended by a wrist injury.

簡略翻譯：

在火箭隊老闆 Tilman Fertitta 的建議下，球團已經決定將 Jae'Sean Tate 的下賽季合約轉成全額保障。他在上賽季簽了三年合約。

Fertitta 認為，在犒賞 Jae'Sean Tate 的同時，也要傳遞一個訊息，就是說他在上賽季的表現與態度應該是球團優先考慮的重點。在上賽季時，他上陣了七十場比賽，場均得到11.3 分及 5.3 個籃板。

在同一個場合上，火箭隊也正式宣佈以三年合約的形式簽下 David Nwaba，其中第三個賽季時將出現球團選擇權。

短評或心得：

從上賽季的表現來看，在菜鳥中也算是值了……
