Can Van Vritte stay in the team? Will it be decided after the big deal? The Rockets took the initiative to delay and pursue superstars become the first choice

The Houston Rockets have already entered the offseason. It can be said that the Rockets' regular season performance this season is gratifying, but the playoff performance is a bit disappointing. The Rockets' backcourt double-core Jaylen Green and Van Vreet can be said to be the main reason for the Rockets' losses in the first few games. Jaylen Green had no other outstanding performance except for that 38-point performance.

Van Vlitter also performed poorly in the first two games. Without the performance in games 3, 4 and 5, it would be difficult for Van Vlitter to stay among the Rockets. Van Vreet adjusted his condition and feel in time, and finally used his performance to help the Rockets chase two consecutive games, and fought with the Warriors to 3:3. But in the tiebreak battle, Van Vreet was closely tied and eventually performed in moderation, so the Rockets were eliminated.

In fact, Van Vreet is the Rockets' best point guard. Although his ability is average in the league, Van Vreet is still one of the best playmakers, tanders and the most stable shooters on the outside. So it’s hard to say whether he will stay with the Rockets this summer. Judging from some reports, the Rockets do not intend to let Van Vreet out directly, but the Rockets have not said they will directly implement his third-year team option.

Van Van Vreet's contract next season is as high as $44.89 million, the highest among the Rockets and the top five among the point guards in the league. So seeing Van Vreet's high contract, the Rockets management will definitely have to consider it for a long time before deciding whether to keep him.

Now Van Vreet has reached an agreement with the Rockets, and it will not be decided until next month on the 29th of the team. There is a saying that Van Vritte may re-cut his salary and sign a long-term contract with the Rockets; but there is another saying that the Rockets may make a big deal before and after the draft, and wait until the deal is over to see if Van Vritte needs to stay in the team.

If the Rockets have tight salary space after the transaction, then Van Vreet will probably be given up; but if the Rockets still need Van Vreet to control the entire game after the transaction, then the Rockets may still execute his contract, or as we said before, sign a low-priced long-term contract with Van Vreet again.

Now, the Rockets have taken the initiative to delay the execution date of the Van Vreet team option, which also proves that the Rockets regard chasing superstars as their primary goal for the next 1 to 2 months. Whether to stay Van Vreet will not be considered until you chase the superstar. Because judging from the playoffs this season, the Rockets are not lacking backcourt organizers like Van Vreet. What they lack is the kind of superstar with strong offensive ability that can be finalized, so chasing a superstar and strengthening the Rockets' overall offensive ability has become very important. Even if Van Vritte does not stay in the team, the Rockets have substitute guards like Holiday, Shepard, and Amen Thompson to choose from. In addition, Jaylen Green can also serve as a point guard, so it becomes less urgent for the Rockets to renew Van Vritte or execute his contract.
