In the last game of the first round of the playoffs, the Rockets lost to the Warriors 89-103 at home tiebreak, ending the journey of this season.

The Rockets can achieve 52 wins and 30 losses this season is undoubtedly a huge achievement. Next, the management needs to evaluate the team's lineup and the shortcomings exposed in the playoffs. Fred VanVleet's 44.9 million team option, the Rockets need to decide whether to execute the contract. Assuming the execution option, plus the Suns' first round pick, the Rockets' salary is expected to exceed the luxury tax line of 7.5 million, approaching the first rich line (the Rockets' estimated salary in the 2024-25 season is 194.5 million, while the first rich line of 195.9 million.) The Rockets can also refuse to execute the contract and leave Van Vreet with a lower average salary.

Aaron Holiday and York Landale's unsecured contracts are worth 12 million. They will decide to guarantee Landale's salary of 8 million and implement Holiday's 4.9 million team option contract on June 29. In addition, Jeff Green and Steve Adams are both team options.

Shin Kyung and Jaylen Green's new contracts will take effect next season, and both of them will have a starting salary of 33 million. The Rockets also need to consider whether to renew Ethan and Jabbarry Smith in advance before October 21.
