He’s a better fit bcuz the young players could still grow with him. If they had gotten harden they young players wouldn’t of been able to get better with the ball always needing to be in hardens hands.
Can’t wait for KJ&M take on this
Van Fleet will be a perfect target for the Houston Rockets young roster with young very skilled talent and Van fleet who has a high basketball IQ and is a really good PG and he will definitely help the Rockets young guys get better and really help them evolve and get them invloved and set them up nicely and Van Fleet himself is gna average around 20 ppg if hes aggressive enough and can average about 8 assists a game with the young potential Star talent around him and hes a great defender and gets steals and forces turnovers and is very good in transition, and Van fleet is a perfect piece to fit for their young Star potential, and their trying to get another great veteran player in Brooks Lopez who will give them some nice size and rebounding and can spread the floor and open up the lanes for Van Fleet and their young highly skilled players and scorers, and Lopez can knock down 3's and shoots it well and Van Fleet would def help set him up and they would definitely be great together in pick and roll and pick n pop situations, and creating driving lanes and give and gos, and Lopez plays and gives is his all every night just like Van Fleet who's one of the best underrated PGs in the league and is a great hustle player always going after the ball and attacking defensively and knows how to get to his spots offensively and like i said has a really high basketball IQ, and then talking about trying to add Dillon Brooks as well, would be nice for Houston too to surround their young highly skilled talent, and Brooks is a disrupter and forces alot of turnovers as well, and is also a great hustle player and always going for the ball, hes a great on ball defender and frustrates his opponents he guards, and hes not a great scorer or shooter but he can get hot on some nights and put put 20+ and hes getting better at shooting 3's and around the perimeter, and hes also a decent finisher at the rim and hes always all over, high energy, high hustle player and with his defense and decent 3 pt shooting and just his edge he plays with i think will really spark the young Star potential on tht team as well, and with their new HC who just coached the Celtics to the finals in a loss TO MY FAV TEAM WARRIORS AND FAV PLAYER STEPH CURRY WHO WON FINALS MVP, but they got a solid new HC whos a really good coach, and hes definitely gna help these young Star potential talent on his team, and surrounding them with the kind of guys i just explained and talked about is a great move on their part management wise and would be a perfect fit to help along these youngsters, so Houston definitely trying to do it the right way!! Respect for tht, so they got Van Fleet, 1 down and 2 to go with Dillon Brooks and Brook Lopez
Lakeshow 💜💛😈
Happy for VanVleet and Brown! Happy for deserving players to get paid!
Rockets paid too much for VanVleet..
From undrafted to a nine figure contract. 👏 🔥
Fred VanFleece for 130 million. LOL get your money
Not worth it.
My pistons still will be better than Houston next season
Wooo Fred, get that moolah bro!!!
Fvv with the bank robbery
If you're too far under the cap you'll need to pay the outstanding amount out to your roster.
Suns gm actually went to work wow
what a bunch of terrible contracts
this guy just finessed the rockets lmao
I see Dillon Brooks signing with Clippers or Suns
As a raptors fan, Fred is not worth that much right now, but good on him. Bet on yourself.
19 points and 7 assists on poor shooting efficiency has never made this much money in NBA history. Congrats Houston.
Money money money🤙😁
Brook Lopez to Blazers pls. Trade garbage nurkic for a vodoo doughnut
So Haliburton, Van Vleet and Bane are paid the same as Jokic and Giannis? What is the point of mvp all star and winning then?
They paid Van F like he was kyrie or S Curry must see tv
Nice pickup with vanvleet but Houston still needs to get a superstar!
So malika is a insider now? I see what you did there espn.
Overpay of all time lmao payed 130 million for a dude who shoots 39% a year and plays 0 defense 💀
Seems like he can be a championship level vet that somehow has more leeway than Wall and can teach the rockets to play winning basketball with all those top 10 picks on the floor
