It s decided! The Rockets voluntarily postponed and executed Van Vreet s 44.89 million contract. It will be announced in 52 days

Will the Rockets have big deals in the offseason this summer? This may be a topic that everyone is very concerned about. But so far, the Rockets' statements have been ambiguous. There is a saying that the Rockets may leave new players such as Jaylen Green, and continue to form a team with new players and compete in next season. There are also many experts who suggest that the Rockets should trade some young players as soon as possible, such as Jaylen Green, who performed poorly in the playoffs. If you want to change superstars, Jaylen Green might be sent away.

However, the first question facing the Rockets now is whether their veteran main point guard Van Vreet will continue to stay with the Rockets this summer and will continue to appear in the starting point guard next season? Because Van Vreet signed a three-year, 130 million contract with the Rockets, two seasons have passed. Van Vreet will face team options this summer.

The Rockets were eliminated from the playoffs by the Warriors. According to regulations, within 5 days, the Rockets will have to give a decision on whether to leave Van Vreet, that is, whether his team options for the last year will be implemented. Van Vreett's contract last season was $44.89 million. If the Rockets implement the team options, Van Vreet will stay in the team normally; otherwise, Van Vreet will become a full free agent and leave the Rockets.

5 days are obviously too short. The Rockets also officially announced today that they and Van Vreett have agreed to reach an agreement, which is to postpone the decision on whether to implement the team options to the 29th of next month, which is June 29th. From today (May 8) to next month's 29, there will be 52 days during this period for the Rockets' management and coaching staff to carefully evaluate and study whether to leave this point guard who performed very well in the playoffs.

Of course, the Rockets may not necessarily execute Van Vreet's contract in the end, and it is also possible that Van Vreet will take the initiative to cut his salary and sign a contract with the Rockets again, which is not impossible. After all, after the end of this season, the Rockets have insufficient salary space, and they have to renew their contracts with two young players in the 2022 class, Ethan and Jabbarry Smith Jr., and the Rockets may pursue a superstar, so salary space and so on are all problems.

5 days obviously cannot solve the problem. Obviously, the Rockets need to study it slowly: Is it necessary to execute this contract of Van Vreett? Either let him go directly, keep him, or sign a low-priced contract again. These are all possible. The only thing that can be confirmed now is that the Rockets will announce whether to keep Van Vreet next month on the 29th.

And in the more than 50 days during this period, the Rockets are likely to have some trades. So, we can only wait and see what the Rockets will do. After all, General Manager Raphael Stone is a very outstanding manager and I believe he will handle all this well.
