Only 5 days! The Rockets decide the fate of next season

For players, the July personal training camp will be a vacation before. But for management, the work has just begun.

According to team reporter Danielle Lerner, the Rockets must immediately consider whether to match Van Vlitter's contract of 44.89 million next season. When signing a contract with Van Vlitter at that time, in order to ensure that the players have enough time to negotiate in the free market, there is a matching deadline in the contract. The Rockets must match Van Vlitter's contract within 5 days of the end of the season.

Judging from the current situation, the Rockets are highly likely to implement Van Vreet's team options. The first thing the Rockets have to decide during the offseason is whether to match VanVleet's contract. This question used to be a bonus question for Huomi.

In the first 60 games of VanVleet played this season, you let Huomi choose to stay or not, and basically ask nine out of ten people to give the result of "good gathering and separation".

But all the praises have reversed in the playoffs.

In the second half of the playoffs, his performance led Rockets fans to enjoy another week of playoff time. Based on the analysis of the entire Fire Yong series, he and Shin Kyung are the only two choices of the Rockets' best player.

VanVleet was not only the Rockets' only shooting player who broke through in the last four games of the series, but averaged 33 three-pointers (63.6%), and all of the last 23 free throws in the series were incompatible with other Rockets' free throws.

He is also the Rockets' only reliable ball holder. In fact, before entering the playoffs, the Rockets were the team with the most ball holders among the 16 playoff players. VanVleet, Jaylen Green, Aaron Holiday and Amen Thompson have more than 10 minutes of playing time in the regular season.

But on the night of the playoffs, you will find that the main attacker Jaylen Green and the substitute ball holder Holiday no longer exist. Amen basically only has the third quarter connection stage and will hold the ball for too long for a period of time. More functions are to accelerate the offensive and defensive transformation.

If you really can dribble and control the rhythm, the only player who is the only one who has been scolded by Chef Fan for 60 games in the regular season.

Judging from the reputation of the end of the season, the Rockets really want Van Vleet to stay in the team. Uduka stated at the press conference after the G7 game that Van Vleet is the player the Rockets need next season.

There is no other reason. It is difficult for you to use a player of the same price to retrieve a ball holder of the same level from the free market. A quasi-first-tier player who is lower than the maximum salary but higher than the second-tier team is now at a price of more than 30 million yuan. If you give a contract of 30 million yuan, you must also give a contract of multiple years.

So if the Rockets think VanVleet is expensive for 44.9 million, they can also choose to regroup with VanVleet, and re-sign a multi-year contract of less than 40 million after breaking out of the contract, but this needs to be discussed with his agent team.

VanVleet's contract will pry open the Rockets' offseason management door, and the free agent to be discussed later will be Aquaman Adams. It is said that at least 5-6 teams are interested in him.

Jabari Smith and Tari Ethan will also negotiate with the team.

And afterwards, whether top players such as Durant and Antetokounmpo, who are most concerned by Rockets fans, will wear Houston jerseys, is the story of July.
