On June 10, TA's well-known reporter Sam Vecenie sent a message from the front about the Houston Rockets and the renewal of Van Vleet and Adams! The reporter said that Adams and Van Vliot are both 31 years old, and the next three-year contract will be the last peak contract in their careers. When talking about the specific amount of the two people renewed, Sam said: "The Rockets are expected to retain Van Vliot for three years and $90 million to $100 million. The Rockets currently hold Van Vliot's team option of $4,490,000 next season. It is reported that the Rockets would rather negotiate with Van Vliot to reach a contract with a longer-term and lower average salary. For Van Vliot himself, of course, he wants to lock in more full-money contracts, while for the Rockets, it is to reduce the salary burden while ensuring the integrity of the lineup as much as possible."

For Adams, Sam said: "Adams has a salary of $1,260,000 this season and will become a full free agent next season, but seeing his performance in the playoffs, the Rockets are expected to provide him with a three-year contract renewal of $4,200-4,500,000. Since the NBA labor and capital agreement this summer shows that the starting salary of the non-luxury tax full middle class is expected to be around $14.1 million. Many teams can provide this level of contract, so if the Rockets want to leave this thriving inside veteran, they have to match such a contract!" Let's combine the performance of Van Vleet and Adams to see who is worthy of such a offer!

First, let's take a look at Adams. During the regular season, Adams played and stopped and suffered a lot of injuries. The Rockets' average talent stabilized the ranking of the Western Conference for a long time. It was not until the playoffs started that we realized how useful this blue-collar player was. This season, the double tower lineup formed with Shin Kyung has increased the Rockets' inside defense efficiency by 9.2% and the rebound rate by 11.5%. High-quality cover has created a good offensive space for Rockets' outside players. In the first round of the match with the Warriors, they averaged 6.2 points and 6.5 basketballs per game. The Warriors blocked 1.3 shots on the board. When he was on the court, the Warriors hit the basket less than 50%. You should know that his inside defense area reached 16.8 feet, surpassing Gobert. When he was on the court again, the Warriors averaged 12.3 points less in the inside. When he was on the court in the series, the Rockets' net efficiency reached +14.1, ranking first in the team. This series of data proves Adams' influence on the game. It can be said that without his performance, the Rockets could not drag the series into tiebreak, especially when they were behind 1-3, Uduka greatly improved his playing time, which gave the Rockets a chance. 3 years of US$4200-4500w, really won’t lose!

When I came to Van Vlitter, many people say that the contract Van Vlitter is now a premium contract, but is this really the case? After this season's All-Star Game, with Van Vleet's injury, the Rockets directly played a six-game losing streak, ranking directly from the second in the West to fourth in the West. From these 6 games, we can see that this young Rockets' dependence on Van Vleet is greater than anyone else. Now, this Rockets can play in the front position. Even if Amen doesn't play, Ethan and Smith can support it. Jaylen Green's scoring stability has been improved this season, and Shin Kyung's performance in the interior is getting better and better, but they are not indispensable players for the Rockets. Only Van Vleet is the most indispensable player of this team, especially on the offensive end. After he was absent, the Rockets' offensive end was completely a mess, and no one can organize an offense. They rely more on the talent of the players to play and make many mistakes.

There are statistics. When Van Vleet was on the court this season, the Rockets made only 12 mistakes per game, and when he was absent, the average mistakes per game soared to 18 times, directly reaching the top of the league's turnover count, which is also the fundamental reason for the All-Stars' six consecutive losses after the weekend. More importantly, Van Vleet's defense and key ball ability are the most indispensable factors for this team. Although his shooting percentage is not high, this Rockets' player who truly has the ability to kill with one blow at critical moments is not Jaylen Green, but Van Vleet. I believe this is also the reason why the Rockets management still chooses to leave him again with a three-year, $90 million-100 million contract. They clearly understand the importance of Van Vleet to this team. No team in the league today is really willing to give players real money for nothing. What they are interested in is the influence of the players on the team! In the playoffs with the Warriors, VanVleet performed poorly in the first three games, and the team also fell behind 1-2 directly. However, since the fourth game, they scored at least 25 points (25 points, 26 points, 29 points) in three consecutive games, and had at least 53.8% shooting percentage. It is precisely because of his performance that he can drag the score into tiebreak. His review of the game and his own defensive offensive level. Is there such a point guard in the team that often competes for the championship or the No. 1 pick? If the Suns have one of them this season, the Rockets are missing him, the Suns are likely to reach the West Finals and the Rockets have the chance to meet the No. 1 pick. If Amen can learn half of his skills on the organizational end, the Rockets can become a real championship team.

Then the last question is, do you think Adams and VanVleet deserve such a contract? Welcome to leave a message for discussion!
