Recently, Chris Mannix, a reporter from Sports Illustrated, commented on the operation of the rocket during the off-season.
He said: “I have been very strict with rockets in the past few years, but the Rockets have had an excellent off-season. Did they pay more money to Van frit? Maybe, but according to the Houston Chronicle, this 3-year contract of 0.13 billion dollars is actually a 2-year contract of about 85 million dollars, and the team option in the third year. Do they really need to pay 80 million dollars to Brooks in 4 years? Who knows, but for a durable flank guard who started 73 games for the grizzly bear last season, this is not a shocking high salary.”
“More importantly: Van frit and Brooks are both Wu ducurno players. Both of them have good defense, which is necessary for Wu ducurno, while Van frit will bring some much-needed professionalism to the young dressing room. I feel that this rocket will experience some ugly moments in the early stage, but will work together in the second half of the season and finally enter the play-off. This will be a great success for the rockets that seem to have no leadership in the past few seasons.”
