The Houston Rockets have had their hot girl summer.
The last two offseasons were snoozy. After the draft, they were pretty much over. The Rockets couldn’t go out - they had work in the morning.
This summer, they had nothing but time. One more martini? Why not. Slay. This is a weird motif and I’ll stray from it starting now.
Fred VanVleet was a no-brainer. Rafael Stone did a great job of negotiating a deal that was both lucrative and team friendly. That third-year team option was perfection.
Dillon Brooks? An overpay. Still, this was perhaps a necessary evil.
