25 million is really good! Van Vreet s salary cut gives the Rockets room to strengthen. If he can win the championship, he will make a great contribution.

On June 26, 2025, ESPN reporter Shams Charania reported that several sources revealed that the Rockets refused to execute Van Vreet's 2025-26 team option worth $44.89 million, and then reached a two-year, $50 million contract extension with it. The conclusion of this contract also allows the Rockets to use a full middle-class special case worth $14.1 million this summer.

Van Vlitter's contract is a player option in the second year. It has a very flexible level and can solve the current predicament of insufficient salary for the Rockets. If you can use this full middle-class salary to sign a player suitable for the team, then the next season is really worth looking forward to.

Currently, the Rockets have defensive players like Ethan, Amen, and Smith Jr., Shin Kyung in the interior and Durant in the scoring. What the team lacks at present is a player who can have stable shooting ability on the outside, so this middle-class contract will solve this problem well.

If the Rockets can succeed next season, then Van Vreet will definitely make a great contribution to the salary cut. As the fans said, Van Vreet with 40 million will be criticized, but Van Vreet with 20 million is really good!
