Stein: Rockets may not implement Van Jordan s team options next season, re-signing a longer appointment with a lower annual salary

May 10th According to famous reporter Stein, the Rockets have previously postponed the decision-making deadline for Van Vreet's $44.9 million team option next season to the end of June. The Rockets negotiated with Van Vreet's Klutch Sports agent team this week to reach the amendment of this clause.

Stein said that although the outside world generally expects Van Vritte to continue to stay in the team, the practice of postponing the team's option deadline to the eve of the free market opening does retain a possibility for the Rockets: if there are major trading opportunities around the draft, they may include Van Vritte's huge salary in the 2025-26 season in the trading plan.

More likely, the Rockets will choose not to execute the team's option and instead sign a longer contract with Van Vreett with a lower average annual salary, which will make the team's salary space more flexible.
