Average 14 points in the regular season, but once it enters the playoffs, the Rockets' main point guard Van Vreeter ushers in an explosion. In the seven playoffs this season, although Van Vritte did not play well in the first two games, it can be said that Van Vritte played at the All-Star point guard level in the next few games.

can contribute 18.7 points, 7.4 assists, 4.1 rebounds per game, and 1 steal and 0.3 blocks. The three-point shooting percentage is as high as 43.5%, and the free throw shooting percentage is as high as 100%. Van Vreet's free throw performance and three-point shooting level obviously exceeded expectations when Rockets players generally missed free throws in the playoffs.

Although Van Fret performed quite well in the playoffs, Van Fret did not perform at his best in the regular season. If you only look at the regular season, Van Vritte is worth up to a contract with an annual salary of 20 million yuan, but if you look at the playoffs, Van Vritte's maximum salary does not seem to be high. So Van Vreet seems to be a useless person, but for the Rockets today, Van Vreet is an indispensable star. After all, he is both the Rockets with the best pass and ball control ability and the Rockets with the most experienced player.

He and Jeff Green are the only two players in the Rockets to win the NBA championship, so in the playoffs, Van Vreet's experience and ability cannot be ignored. Without Van Vreett's performance in the playoffs, the Rockets might have been eliminated by the Warriors in 6 games. It was Van Vreett who forced the Rockets to drag the game to the tiebreak final.

So will Van Vreeter's team options be executed next season? According to salary analysis, Van Vreet's annual salary is as high as $44.9 million next season, but the Rockets may not necessarily implement his third-year team option. Some experts and media analysts believe that the Rockets may sign a new contract with Van Vreett. Of course, this contract will definitely be smaller, but the length of this contract is likely to be longer. After all, veteran Van Vreett still takes stability as the basis. He is no longer young, but he is unwilling to start from other teams again.

, and according to NBA reporter Jack Fisher, some NBA executives believe that the Rockets will eventually reach a contract renewal with Van Vritte. There are many signs now that Van Vreet hopes to continue to play for the Rockets, and the Rockets also particularly hope that Van Vreet will continue to be the starting point guard of the Rockets.

The problem that both parties are now struggling is the terms of the contract: Van Vreet must want more years of guaranteed salary in the negotiations, and for the Rockets, if Van Vreet wants to give Van Vreet a big contract, Van Vreet's salary will definitely be reduced, so that the Rockets can also free up salary space to sign other players to strengthen the lineup. Although Van Vritte's contract will no longer reach an annual salary of 44.9 million, a long-term contract renewal also made Van Vritte very satisfied. As a 31-year-old veteran, Van Vritte only pursues stability. He has already won a big contract. Now a more stable long-term contract is the foundation that can guarantee Van Vritte's remaining career. Therefore, the two sides will definitely continue to reach an agreement, and Van Vreeter will have a high probability of staying with the Rockets next season, but his annual salary of 44.9 million is probably difficult to get.
