Houston has until June 29 to decide on guard Fred VanVleet’s $44.9 million team option, with sources indicating mutual interest in a reunion. Despite potential discussions with other teams regarding sign-and-trades, the Rockets intend to retain VanVleet for the upcoming season, whether by exercising his option or negotiating a more team-friendly deal. The likelihood of him playing for a different team next season is reportedly slim, according to various team and league sources.
