Continue to win the championship next season! Crazy salary cut of 20 million, Rockets lock in veteran defender

The NBA has entered the offseason, and all teams can start to adjust their lineups, either in drafts, trades, signings, or renewals. In short, we need to find new players to improve the strength of the lineup.

The Houston Rockets have made big moves recently. They sent Jaylen Green away and traded Durant, which is the biggest reinforcement. The Rockets have reached the second place in the Western Conference this season and had a high hopes for the Western Conference Finals, and their defensive quality is first-class.

But unexpectedly, the Rockets were just offensive and failed to withstand the Golden State Warriors' impact and stopped in the first round, which disappointed them very much. During this process, Jaylen Green's performance was very unstable and played poorly, so he was sent away by the Rockets. Durant, who was replaced, was an offensive expert and could solve the team's offensive problems.

Today, the Rockets have a new move, announcing that they refuse to execute the team option worth around $45 million next season, but offer a two-year, $50 million contract.

It can be said that Van Vreet experienced a big salary cut. His original annual salary was $45 million, but now it has become $25 million, which means that his annual salary has been $20 million. Even so, Van Vreet agreed to renew his contract with the Rockets because he believed that his cooperation with the Rockets would last longer than two years.

In addition, Van Vreett is now entering the player market and it is estimated that it will be difficult to get an annual salary of more than $25 million. He is older and has a shortage of height. It is more appropriate to get a two-year contract of $50 million for the Rockets. The Rockets' goal for next season is still the Western Conference Finals or even the championship, which requires Van Vreet's experience.
