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

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

Wouldn't the backcourt be Vanvleet and Green?

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.

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

Surely this will bring some maturity to the young squad

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

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.

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.

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

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

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