Which team is highly paid free agent Fred VanVleet going to after leaving the Toronto Raptors? According to Drake, not the Houston Rockets.
VanVleet's response arguably was more amusing given the brevity. He responded with:"Relax."
The Guangdong Dragons are not the exact team Drake was likely referring to. The Guangdong Southern Tigers, though, compete in the Chinese Basketball Association and was founded in 1993. VanVleet, meanwhile, is now the key star on a Rockets team that is looking to bounce back after missing the postseason three seasons in a row. They had qualified eight straight times from 2012 to 2020 but haven't assembled the right pieces in the post-James Harden era.
Houston also agreed to a four-year, $80 million contract with Dillon Brooks in a sign-and-trade deal with the Memphis Grizzlies, so the VanVleet-Brooks duo will look to take youngsters Jalen Green, Jabari Smith Jr. and Co. to a new level.
