Jeff Green's one-year, $2.3M deal with Houston earns an A+ CVI, representing exceptional value for a solid starter who brings championship-tested versatility to a rising Rockets squad. At that price point, Green provides elite cost efficiency as a veteran forward who can seamlessly slot into multiple lineups while mentoring Houston's young core during their accelerated development timeline. The short-term commitment preserves the Rockets' cap flexibility for future star acquisitions while giving them a proven playoff performer who thrived in similar roles with championship contenders like the Celtics and Nuggets. Green's ability to stretch the floor, defend multiple positions, and provide steady leadership makes him an ideal bridge piece as Houston transitions from rebuilding to contention. This contract also creates valuable trade asset potential if the Rockets need to package salary for a bigger move at the deadline. Houston essentially locked up a quality rotation player at backup minimum money, which is precisely the type of shrewd roster construction that separates playoff teams from pretenders in the loaded Western Conference.
