ESPN ’s Shams Charania: “Both sides believe in a partnership for years to come beyond the two years , sources said.

By reducing the 2025 - 26 value from nearly $45 million (under the previous team option) to approximately $25 million , the Rockets will have significantly more spending power this offseason.

VanVleet 's new deal gives the Rockets flexibility over the next year and gives him the opportunity to enter the 2026 free agency market.
