This Rockets rebuild must be the strangest I’ve ever seen.

They spend a couple years gathering young talent, then suddenly they are in nearly every rumor for a star player or veteran role player, and give high salaries (too high IMO) to FVV and Dillon Brooks.

What am I missing?

Yeah I don’t know either, it looks highly questionable given they have Jalen Green, KPJ plus they drafted Amen Thompson. I’m not a Rockets fan but I’d love to know their thoughts on it - and I hope a year of Sengun doesn’t go to waste because that guy was already having trouble finding playing time under Silas.

And if they had gotten someone like Lillard, Kawhi, AD someone you can reasonably try to build around, it'd be understandable. But overpaying for FVV isn't that
