VanVleet s salary for the new season is paid by insurance, which may be a good thing for the Rockets

Currently, VanVleet has successfully undergone ligament repair surgery, and this injury will be recovered for 10-12 months, which means that he is likely to be reimbursed next season. On the hospital bed, he was still cheering for the Rockets and said, "We will definitely win another championship! We will win the Houston championship ring! The Rockets will surely rise strongly and break through the siege!"

I think netizens' attention is very strange. Some people said, "The Rockets thought it was expensive at that time, and now it is better, equivalent to 50 million a year."

Then many people like it, but there is no need to worry, VanVleet's salary next season will definitely be paid by the insurance company. On the surface, it is indeed these amounts, but this kind of thing is already very mature in the NBA. The team must have bought huge insurance for players, and the players themselves have insurance. Fan Qiao can't spend much money on reimbursing the Rockets season.

So the Rockets don't worry about this at all. They are the already stretched point guard and there are one more general, which makes it worse. And there is no reserve plan, because there is only more than 100 salary space left, so there is no way to sign a point guard again, such as Westbrook and Simmons, who are not working.

During this offseason, the Rockets and Van Vleet renewed a new contract of $50 million for two years, which was a 1+1 contract. At that time, they thought it was quite cost-effective. After all, the salary of nearly 40 million last season was indeed quite average. I still felt that the Rockets made a profit once they cut their salary this year. But now it’s really worse than the God’s calculations. It’s over before it even started. How intense is it to suffer such a big injury during training?

The Rockets have also officially announced the 18-man roster in the new season, which means there will be no transactions or signings for the time being, and these 18-man rosters have started. They are 14 regular contract players + 3 two-way contract players + 1 training contract player. The

Rockets will hold a media day at the Toyota Center on September 30, and the training camp will be officially opened at the Hermann Memorial Hall/Houston Rockets Training Center from October 1 to 6. I don’t know if I will announce the renewal of Durant at that time, as it happened that it was Durant’s 37th birthday. It is reported that Durant will renew his contract with the Rockets in advance, and the two sides can sign a large contract of up to 2 years of $122 million, but Durant may also reduce his salary and renew his contract. It feels like he will be about 10 million, and then a 1+1 contract, with the second year as the player option.

The Rockets' total salary for the new season is about $194.7 million, which has not exceeded the luxury tax, so next year is a really good opportunity. Because when the offseason is next year, we will face Amen's contract renewal. With Durant and Ethan's new contract, we will most likely adjust our lineup, otherwise we will have to pay luxury tax.

The new season is not far away, and the preseason is about to start. The Rockets will play against the Hawks at home on October 7, and the Rockets will challenge the defending champion Thunder away on October 22. This is a bit heartbreaking. Durant is going to see the Thunder award the championship ring, which is of course very interesting.

If the Thunder wins in this opening game, it is normal, but if the Rockets win, there will probably be a lot to say.

The West will still be full of highlights next season, and many teams have greatly changed the lineups, especially the Lakers and Clippers, which have new players, and the Los Angeles derby next season is also a big highlight. As for the Warriors, let’s see Curry’s success. The lineup has not changed much, and Kumingga is still trying to attract attention!

The other is the Western Conference Final 3 Thunder, Nuggets and Rockets. I feel that these three teams have the opportunity to compete for the championship.
