The Houston Rockets Favorites to Land Fred VanVleet in Free Agency

The opening of the free agency is approaching and Fred VanVleet is one of the big fish on the market. The Toronto Raptors point guard has long been linked to the Sixers, where his former coach Nick Nurse would welcome a reunion. Except that according to Jake Fischer of Yahoo Sports, it is much further West than the 2019 NBA champion could be heading.

The Houston Rockets would be on pole to offer VanVleet the two-year, $80 million contract he’d been asking for. A short-lived deal, like what the Rockets would like to offer Dillon Brooks, could be a win-win, with the ability to quickly start over if things don’t work out.

40 million per season, if it is at this height that the negotiations end, it is obviously enormous. But Fred VanVleet became an All-Star and one of the best NBA players in his position. When you start from the bottom like Houston, you have to be ready to try this kind of bet.
