No way. What are the Rockets doing?

Their best at shooting themselves in the foot.

Nobody knows that, including their management.

63 million a year for a Brooks/Vanvleet backcourt is something else lmao

[–] beefstu 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Maybe brooks will be more humble? Unlikely. Houston will be a hot mess this year.

[–] sdlesion 3 points 2 years ago

They will be must watch TV for the wrong reasons!!

Wouldn't the backcourt be Vanvleet and Green?

[–] Fearghas 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

I’m guessing fvv/jalen green/brooks/Jabari/sengun. Mills, Christopher, whitmore, jeff green and landale off the bench? Defense is a question mark but they could push for the playin if green and Jabari take a step forward under Udoka.

They also still have KPJ and Amen Thompson as well. It's going to be interesting seeing how that guard rotation shakes out.

Hey Rockets, I’m still available

[–] solongaphasia 4 points 2 years ago

rockets, sign this frog

[–] Samw1ch 11 points 2 years ago

Was there competition for him? This seems like a gigantic overpay especially after Memphis saying he wouldn't return under any circumstances.

[–] unwinagainstable 6 points 2 years ago

Massive overpay.

Surely this will bring some maturity to the young squad

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

"Maturity" to not speak to the media after they lose while talking a lot of shit before the game

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

Woof. No idea what Houston is doing. They’ve been so bad for three years. I guess they got better but at a gross cost.

[–] Kissing_Ash 3 points 2 years ago

Wait why??? This feels stupid lol

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Brooks isn't as bad as his reputation would lead you believe, but I do not love that contract at all...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Yeah people were joking? he should be out of the league. 80 mill though...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Not a fan of this signing at all as a Rockets fan. FVF I don't mind because he can help lead the young guys for the next two years and then Amen takes over. Brooks I just don't get.

[–] LemmyKravitz 1 points 2 years ago

It's FVV, btw.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Holy crap. Wasn't expecting this! Is the market really still that hot?

[–] nbafantest 1 points 2 years ago

Maybe they can front load it so that in 2 years it's a reasonable contract? Idk

[–] Calvin 1 points 2 years ago

Wow, I know he's a good defender and all but that's a lot of money + years committed.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

The Rockets seem like they'll be fun to watch and maybe this pushes them closer to being a play-in team?

[–] brownbreadboy 1 points 2 years ago

Probably did this to get more eyes on the team since his antics are constantly talked about

[–] petercockroach 1 points 2 years ago

Happy Canada Day to this fool.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

There's no wayyy
