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

        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.

    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…

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

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

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