$90 million! Reduce salary and renew the Rockets, US News discusses Van Jordan s contract, Adams can also stay in the team
4:44pm, 10 June 2025【Basketball】
The Rockets have two missions this year, one is to keep Van Jordan and the other is to sign Adams back. Previously, the Rockets revealed that the team is not expected to execute Van Jordan's last year's team option. The two sides may sign a new contract again, and Van Jordan's annual salary will be reduced. Because in the past two seasons, the Rockets' high premium contract for Van Jordan is a problem that the team has no salary, and the rookies have not renewed their contracts.
However, after Shin Kyung and Jaylen Green renew their contract, the new contract will take effect next season. Then the Rockets are facing some salary pressure. If Van Jordan team option is implemented, the Rockets will not be able to sign Adams back. If the Rockets want to kill both birds with one stone, then Van Jordan will have to return to the Rockets with a significant salary cut, and then use the money he saved to sign Adams. Today, both Rockets reporters and TA reporter Sam Vecenie commented on Van Jordan's contract renewal.
Sam Vecenie believes that the Rockets' contract for Van Jordan will be 90 million or 100 million in three years. That is, the average salary is 30 million to 33.33 million. Van Jordan's team option is an annual salary of 44.9 million. If a new contract is signed with an annual salary of 30 million, it will save 14.9 million. Adams can benefit from Van Jordan's salary cut and get a three-year contract of 42 million to 45 million. In this way, Van Jordan and Adams will return at the same time, and the team can consider trading operations later. To be honest, Van Jordan has an annual salary of 30 million yuan. He is only 31 years old in 1994 and is the golden age of point guard. This season's regular season Van Jordan scored 14.1 points, 3.7 rebounds, 5.5 assists and only 1.4 turnovers. Van Jordan averaged 18.7 points, 4.1 rebounds and 4.4 assists per game in the playoffs, with a shooting percentage of 43%, and 43.5% of three-pointers. Compared with regular season data and shooting percentage, Van Jordan in the playoffs has improved a lot. When Van Jordan was absent this season, the Rockets' record was not good.
What Van Jordan can provide to the Rockets is: high-quality defensive ability, he is not afraid of anyone in his confrontation, and is good at digging balls in the second set. And it can stick to your opponent like a dog skin plaster. On the offensive end, Van Jordan is the only player in the Rockets who can hold the ball and pass the half-time and do not drop the ball in the high-end game. This time when the Rockets fell behind 1-2 in the playoffs, Van Jordan lost three consecutive games to drag the series into the tiebreak. Why do you question Fan Qiao? It's because Jaylen Green's performance is too poor. Van Jordan is the best supporter, and he needs a strong second-place attacker.
Van Jordan focuses on defense and organization, and then the off-ball projection itself is outstanding again. If the Rockets replace Green with Booker or even LaVine in the playoffs, it will be no problem for the team to beat the Warriors. You are the lead point guard who can't play any of you in the wrong position against the Warriors, and even Hilder, who has extremely poor defense, can lock Green, so it's meaningless to blame Van Jordan. If you let Van Jordan be the C position, he doesn't have that ability, let alone if he has C in 3 games in the playoffs. Except for the first two games, Van Jordan scored only 10 points and 7 points. Van Jordan performed well in the next 5 games.
G3 Van Jordan scored 17 points but was helpless. With Jaylen Green continuing to be super ghost, Van Jordan made 8 of 13, 8 of 12 three-pointers and scored 25 points, but the Rockets lost 3 points and were beaten 1-3 behind. But in the battle of life and death, Van Jordan scored another 26 points, and shot 8 of 13 and 4 of 6 three-pointers. At the Warriors' home court, Van Jordan scored 29 points alone in G6 and tied with 7 of 13 shots. Van Jordan was targeted by the Warriors in the tiebreak, but he still scored 17 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists, shot 6 of 13 shots, and 3 of 6 three-pointers. The Rockets lost to the Warriors in the first round, and the most tragic thing is that they can tie the seventh with the oil bottle. During the offseason, the Rockets sent Green away and changed to a starting point guard, which would be the biggest upgrade for the team.
