Van Vliott's playoff performance is a two-sided epic of "Angels and Devils". In the first round of G1-G3, Van Vliot's performance was very average, averaging 11.3 points per game, a three-point shooting percentage of 20.7% (6 of 29 shots), plus or negative value -18.3, and even a slump of 7 points in a single game, and the team was also behind 1-2.

But in the next three games, Van Vleet turned into Van Jordan, averaging 26.7 points per game, with a 63.6% three-point shooting percentage (21 of 33 shots), G6's life-and-death battle, he made 7 of 13 shots in a single game, 6 of 9 three-pointers, scored 29 points, 8 rebounds, and 8 assists, and directly dragged the series into a tiebreak.

VanVleet's performance is really unpredictable, so it is obviously unlikely that he wants to get a salary worth nearly $45 million next year.

In 2023, the Rockets gave him a three-year contract of $130 million, with a salary of $42.85 million this season and a team option of $44.89 million next season.

At that time, the Rockets gave him this contract to fill in the "poor ghost line". Now the contract is coming to an end, and the team's young people's new contract has also begun to be executed. The Rockets are not very good at executing his options. It is reported that the Rockets need to decide whether to execute it within 5 days of the end of the playoffs.

VanVleet has played 60 games for the Rockets this season, with 14.1 points, 3.7 rebounds, 5.6 assists and 1.6 steals, and three shooting percentages: 37.8%/34.5%/81%.

averaged 18.7 points, 4.1 rebounds, 4.4 assists, 1 steal and 1.9 turnovers per game. Three shooting percentages: 43%/43.5%/100%, and averaged 3.9 three-pointers per game.

has the ability, but if you want to say that the annual salary is as high as $45 million, it is obviously not enough, so the Rockets' operation is very likely to refuse to execute the team's options and then sign a new contract with VanVleet with an annual salary of $25-30 million.

Entering the league as a undraft in 2016, Van Vlitter has received 4 contracts so far, with a total salary of US$165 million, from undraft to Mr. 100 million, and a championship ring. Van Vlitter is also a true winner in life.
