The first night of free agency brought its usual craziness, with some outrageous deals being handed out. Arguably the most shocking one came when the Rockets secured the services of Fred VanVleet for a whopping $130 million over three years.
The Spurs, meanwhile, decided to fly below the radar by only making a couple of signings that surprised no one. First, they agreed to a two-year, $20 million deal with Tre Jones and then they locked down Julian Champagnie to a four-year contract that pays him slightly more than the minimum yearly.
At first glance, the Rockets did more to further their rebuild than the Spurs did.
