Compared to chasing superstars desperately, the Rockets' most pragmatic and down-to-earth plan now is of course to leave behind two "veterans" who performed well in the playoffs and regular season this season. In fact, they are said to be veterans, but Van Vreet and Adams are actually only 31 years old, and they are in their prime.

VanVleet's performance on the scoring end of the playoffs was impressive, defeating the Rockets' second-in-command Jaylen Green; and the double tower lineup composed of Adams and Shin Kyung also performed very well in the playoffs. Leaving Van Vreet and Adams became one of the Rockets' main plans this summer. Now we can congratulate the Rockets - Adams has agreed to sign a three-year, 39 million contract extension with the Rockets. The 31-year-old Tower will still be firmly tied to Houston in the next three years.

In fact, there was news that the Rockets would not implement Van Vreet's team option that was close to 45 million in the last year. They would sign a longer but lower salary contract with Van Vreet. Some experts also said that the Rockets will use the salary space vacated by Van Vreett's salary cut to renew Adams. Now we know that Adams' contract is 39 million in three years, with an average annual salary of 13 million.

Van Vritte's salary is close to 45 million next season, minus 13 million for 45 million. The remaining 32 million is the salary Variett may receive from the Rockets every year - that is, Van Vritt may sign a three-year contract renewal contract with the Rockets for about 90 million. If the Rockets make another move, Van Vritt's new contract may reach about 120 million in four years.

After all, with Van Vreett's performance in the regular season and playoffs this season, he is indeed not worth an annual salary of 45 million, but if he leaves Van Vreett with a contract renewal of about 30 million annual salary, such a contract is still relatively reliable. Although Van Vreett earns a 30 million annual salary in terms of data and performance, he is indeed a player that the Rockets cannot do without: when Van Vreett is missing this season, the Rockets' offense is not smooth. Whether Holiday, Jaylen Green or Amen Thompson serves as point guards and organizes offenses, the Rockets' offense is always difficult to play smoothly.

But Van Vreet is completely different. He can not only sort out the Rockets' offense, but also shoot a large number of open three-pointers, and is also a defensive expert. The Rockets should be willing to pay and afford it to renew Van Vreet with an annual salary of about 30 million yuan.

From previous reports, we can infer Van Vritte's expected contract size - after all, Van Vritte's salary cut will be distributed to Adams, and now it is known that Adams' average annual salary for the contract is 13 million, so the remaining salary of about 32 million belongs to Van Vritte. It can be said that compared with this season, the Rockets will be able to keep Van Vreett without increasing their salary space next season, and can also keep veteran Adams with a three-year contract. This operation is undoubtedly smarter. The salary space saved by the Rockets can not only sign some famous instant players, but also get multiple basic salary contracts to strengthen the Rockets' outside shooting and scoring ability.

Van Vreet will renew his contract with the Rockets within half a month. We also look forward to Van Vreet staying with the Rockets for a long time to help the Rockets compete for the playoffs and even the championship.
