If Houston opted to trade VanVleet for a star, would it require them to opt-in and still descend the deal each year? Or would a new deal suffice under current CBA?

Great work as always!

Generally these would all assume Fred stays in any star deal. But they could both do a new deal (sign and trade) or opt in and extend and trade, would just have to adhere to new CBA rules. Opt in and extend is cleaner and more likely IMO if they were to use Fred as salary matching, but think its more likely he stays in any trade.

Or possibly I am misreading what you said about Houston trading for a star anyway?
