Always anxious to improve a promising but very young workforce, the Rockets are targeting many players, but while the hope of seeing James Harden return to town is increasingly slim, the Houston franchise should fall back on Fred VanVleet.
Still looking for a big contract close to the maximum, the 2019 NBA champion is of interest to certain franchises, but we recently wondered where Fred VanVleet was going to land, not without the help of ChatGPT, and who was ready to ask 40 million per season for Stephen Curry’s dad Fred VanVleet Jr. (it can’t be invented), born during the famous Playoffs which crowned the Dinos and during which the player became a fusion between Kobe Bryant and Chris Paul. Obviously, the Rockets are one of those teams ready to crack the PEL for FVV and send him a big offer. We are talking regarding 85 million over 2 years, exactly the same amount he earned during the last… four seasons in Toronto. The Raptors would like to keep him, but are also on the Jakob Poeltl file and have less financial room than the Rockets, who have around 60 million to spend.
Rockets Preparing Two-Year, $85M Max Offer To Fred VanVleet

It remains to be seen the real interest of this move for the Rockets, who have just drafted Amen Thompson with the fourth choice of the last Draft and who still have Kevin Porter Jr., now promised a role in the second Texas unit and who might well see his role diminish a little more with the possible arrival of the current leader of the Raptors. This signing would probably create a traffic jam at post 1, but would also add what the Rockets sorely lacked last season, namely experience and serenity. Fred VanVleet is a very solid NBA point guard who plants his twenty points per game and who was even All-Star in 2022. And if he is more of a scorer type, he might also distribute the game for Jalen Green or Alperen Sengun among others. This big contract over two years might potentially suit FVV, would he buy a villa for the mama at the same time?
Fred VanVleet is eagerly courted by the Rockets, and this potential offer proves that he is well and truly recognized as a very good NBA point guard. Ime Udoka might rely on this reinforcement to channel this young squad which was far too messy under the leadership of Stephen Silas. Be careful though, because there is nothing official yet even if the rumors intensify around the leader.
