This, then, is a rather important development when evaluating the Western Conference landscape: League sources tell The Stein Line that Houston and Fred VanVleet have mutual interest in prolonging the veteran’s tenure as the starting floor general for Ime Udoka’s Rockets. There’s a team option in VanVleet’s deal for 2025-26 and it sounds as though both sides are motivated to find an agreement that would keep VanVleet in place as the orchestrator of Houston’s offense. The Rockets will have the chance to decline VanVleet’s option and rework a multi-year deal this summer. VanVleet is also represented by Klutch CEO Paul.
