The Houston Rockets have made one of the biggest moves of the offseason, and free agency hasn't even started. The team has signed veteran center Steven Adams to a new three-year, $39 million contract extension to keep him off the open market.

VanVleet signed with the Rockets in July 2023 after an eight-season stint with the Toronto Raptors. In Houston, he’s transitioned into a lead point guard role, delivering clutch playoff performances—especially in Game 6 against Golden State, where he scored 29 points and drilled six threes to force a Game 7.

It was June 14, 1995, when Hakeem Olajuwon’s Rockets completed perhaps the most iconic run to a championship in NBA history.

There is "mutual interest" between the Houston Rockets and guard Fred VanVleet as the July 29 deadline nears for the franchise to make a decision on the $44.9 million team option it has for the 2025-26 season.
