The Rockets need to re-sign 18+4+4 defenders? They have both shooter and ball-holder attributes, Green grows quickly because of him

The Rockets have entered another stage of reconstruction today. In fact, during the three-year period when Silas led the Rockets to the bottom, the Rockets' main goal was to lose more and give young players more opportunities to play, so that they can brush more data to find feelings. By the way, the Rockets can also get a high pick. The Rockets have won more than 10 rookies in the past four years, and finally 7 rookies remain in the team. However, the Rockets obviously cannot go further by relying on rookies alone. During the offseason two years ago, the Rockets finally made the decision: to introduce players in the free agent market. At that time, the Rockets John Wall's contract had officially expired, and Stone suddenly had an additional salary space of 40 to 50 million yuan. After
, the Rockets made good use of this salary space. They not only chose to sign the former between VanVleet and Harden, but also signed veterans like Jeff Green and Dillon Brooks. At that time, the Rockets also signed the famous coach Uduka. The Rockets have made extremely rapid progress over the past two seasons, jumping from 11th in the West to 2nd in the West. Even if the Rockets have a poor record in the playoffs, in the regular season, the Rockets are also the team with the most progress in the league in the past two years.
Nowadays, the Rockets have multiple players becoming free agents, and Van Vreet faces the team options. Many media expect the Rockets to sign a contract with Van Vreet again with a lower salary. NBA expert Ryan Diamond also suggested that the Rockets should indeed leave Van Vreet. Because Van Vreet averaged 18+4+4 in seven games in the playoffs, his three-point shooting percentage was even as high as 43.5%. Although he performed averagely in the regular season, once he entered a head-on game like the playoffs, Van Vreet was the Rockets' most worthy target.
The expert believes that although the Rockets can make big trades during the offseason, the team needs some small patches to increase the depth of the lineup, such as bringing some shooters to the Rockets. The expert believes the Rockets should work hard to renew Van Vreet's contract in the offseason. Because Van Vreet is both a shooter and an excellent offensive organizer and ball holder, the Rockets are indispensable.
More importantly, Van Vritte also brought leadership to the Rockets, and the rapid growth of young players is closely related to Van Vritte's contribution. Especially young players like Jaylen Green have begun to take on more important roles, so Van Vreet is the object that the Rockets must stay, and his passing and shooting are the main skills that the Rockets rely on to survive on the court.
Even if the Rockets cannot get superstars, if they can sign Van Vreet again, it will be of great help to improve the overall strength of the Rockets next season. Van Vreet is not old. At the age of 31, his salary may be lower next season. If he can take the initiative to cut his salary, the Rockets still have salary space to use and can strengthen other positions, such as finding a substitute point guard or a substitute shooter to add more depth to the lineup. Jaylen Green grew rapidly because of Van Vreet, who also possessed both the ball holder and the shooter. The Rockets really should sign Van Vreet again and can't let him go.
