Man, Giannis is a top 3 player.  There isn’t anyone like him and he’s the closest thing to Hakeem since Hakeem.  If he is available  for anything less than or equal to 3 of Sengun, Green, Tate, Sheppard, Whitmore, and Smith, and picks, you figure it out. You can find shooters. That’s just me, though.

You can find shooters, but Stone has never done it. Really, step one of this offseason should be firing Stone.

Charania] The Houston Rockets and guard Fred VanVleet are pushing back Friday’s deadline date to June 29 on his $44.9 million team option for 2025-26 season, sources tell ESPN. This gives both sides additional time to navigate exercising the option versus completing a longer term deal.

There is no reason the Rockets should exercise that option.

ESPN or Athletic or someone had an article the day after Houston was eliminated and said FVV’s projected street value would be in the $20-25m/yr range (thus, no way should the Rockets exercise that team option). With extensions to Amen, maybe Jabari and Eason, looming I don’t know if I’d even give FVV 3/$90.

let see what pick we get 

not sure about blowing it all up based on the core's first playoff appearance. seems like over reacting. we make free throws and we win that series

I think Ime would be pro FVV 3 year extension. Not sure where Stone stands, but I think he’d favor salary flexibility. 
 

As the Locked On Rockets guy has cleverly pointed out, FVV was supposed to be a band aid until Jalen Green could run the offense. That obviously won’t be happening. 
 

1) Resign Adams

2) Trade Green

3) Sign a plus WAR veteran shooting guard on a short term deal. 

4) Draft Tre Johnson or Fears, and actually play them as rookies. They need to be ready to start in Year 2.

5) Team option on FVV.

6) Trade for Durant. 
 

That’s probably a 55 win team that can multiple playoff series.

FVV already got his bag and was grossly overpaid relative to his performance the past two seasons. We overpaid because we had cap space and wanted a veteran PG. Hopefully (LOL yeah right) FVV and his agent can be reasonable based on the money he already got and how much he'd likely bring on the free agent market. The only teams with significant cap space are Detroit, Brooklyn (who may get Giannis?), Philly, San Antonio, and New Orleans. Would any of those teams want to sign FVV for $30m? Would he prefer playing for one of those teams vs. staying with the Rockets?

Hit the google and there are multiple articles about how screwed free agents are this offseason, and even the really good fringe-allstar guys may get offers in the $20-22m/yr range. FVV could FAFO if he plays hardball and end up taking some team's mid-level exception. Houston may not be able to trade FVV unless it's before June 29 as salary filler (receiving team would just decline his option), because I doubt any other team will want to pay him $45m+trade kicker and I doubt FVV would agree to a sign-and-trade at <$25m/yr. I guess Houston could lie to him, resign him closer to market value then turn around and trade him.
