Fred VanVleet and the Houston Rockets have moved the deadline on his $44.9M player option for 2025-26 to June 29, per ESPN. The extra time allows both sides to explore two strategic paths.
They could decline the option and re-sign at a lower salary, gaining cap flexibility but losing trade eligibility until mid-December. Or they could exercise the option, preserving trade potential at the cost of valuable cap room.
