Rockets Star Facing $45 Million Decision Amid Kevin Durant News originally appeared on Athlon Sports.

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.

The Houston Rockets have agreed a three-year extension with center Steven Adams, according to ESPN’s Shams Charania.

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.

This is the 30th anniversary of the 1995 Houston Rockets going back-to-back, the most unlikely, unpredictable, unsinkable and irrepressible run to a championship in NBA history.
