4 point guards join forces, the Rockets are full of confidence! It doesn’t matter if you don’t leave Van Frit? 40 million space is really good

According to some reports, the Rockets may eventually leave Van Vreet. However, judging from the recent actions of the Rockets, leaving Van Vritte is not necessarily the Rockets' ultimate intention. On the one hand, the Rockets may want Van Vreet to take the initiative to cut their salary and sign a new contract with the Rockets again. If Van Vritte does not agree, I'm sorry, the Rockets are unlikely to execute Van Vritte's 44.89 million contract in the third year. This is why Van Vreet's third-year team option is postponed.

After all, Van Vreet is no longer the top point guard in the league, he is not even the All-Star. In the regular season, he is just an ordinary role player. Although Van Vreet played three pretty good games in the playoffs, his performance in other games was indeed not satisfactory. Overall, VanVleet has advantages and is also the Rockets' best point guard at present, but he is not a must-have option for the Rockets. If Van Vreet insists on asking for a big contract, the Rockets may not necessarily end up keeping him.

If Van Freit is not left, who will the Rockets' main point guard next season? On the one hand, the Rockets can introduce star point guards, such as Morant, who is not happy with the Grizzlies. In addition, even if the Rockets do not introduce star point guards, it is enough to use only the existing point guards in the team. After all, Van Vreet was absent for more than a month due to an ankle sprain this season.

During this period, the Rockets' record was indeed affected to a certain extent, but as Amen Thompson returned to the No. 1 position and Jaylen Green transformed into a dual-athlete defender, the vacancy in the Rockets' point guard position was also solved. Thompson was a traditional point guard in the draft, but he was temporarily transformed into a forward or even a center by Rockets coach Uduka last season and this season.

In addition to the two, the Rockets' Shepard's performance in the point guard position is also quite impressive. Although he lacks defensive ability, he can shoot three-pointers, has stable mid-range shots, and is even more imaginative. If he is given more time, especially strengthening defense and confrontational training, Shepard will definitely be the main rotation of the Rockets' backcourt in the future, and is even expected to be the starter.

and veteran Holiday, whose contract of 5 million in the second year can also be fully executed. This season's playoffs, Holiday's three-point shooting percentage was as high as 40%, and his three-point shooting percentage in the regular season also reached 39.8%. Although his pass and control ability is average, Holiday is proficient in defense and has an underestimated ability to defend small and large. He is also one of the Rockets' best scorers in the backcourt in the regular season.

So, with such four point guards of different styles and types joining forces, even if Van Vreet leaves, the Rockets will be confident next season because these four point guards are completely enough. If the Rockets can leave Tate with an expiration of contract, Tate can also play a role in the point guard position. Therefore, it is possible for the Rockets to keep Van Fritt or not, Van Fritt is not a non-sale product for the Rockets.

If Van Vritte and the Rockets fail on the contract, the Rockets can completely sweep him out, after all, Van Vritte occupies the Rockets' 45 million salary space next season. If the salary space of more than 40 million yuan can be freed up, at least one All-Star player can be signed. So, everyone is very welcome to stay in Van Vritte. After all, he can score, organize offense, and defend. If he doesn't stay in the team, the Rockets can free up 40 million in salary space, and it is really delicious to use this money to chase an All-Star player.
