Dillon Brooks Somehow Finessed The Houston Rockets Into Giving Him A 4 Year, $80 Million Deal

What a turn of events for Dillon Brooks. From poking the bear Bron to the Grizzlies saying they want absolutely nothing to do with him under any circumstances, somehow he just completely fleeced the Rockets. I know lots of guys in the league are getting paid, but there's absolutely no way you can tell me Dillon Brooks is worth $20 million a year. He had an absolute disaster class of a postseason and became the laughing stock of the league. I genuinely thought there was a chance he didn't sign or it would be pathetically low. Twitter already signed his contract with the Guangdong Tigers. If you search "Guangdong Tigers" on Google, this is what you see:

The whole league was ready to write this man off and now somehow he's getting paid on an extremely young Rockets team that has now paid Fred VanVleet and Dillon Brooks a combined $210 million. This was after rumors that Houston would be getting their reunion with James Harden to pair with Amen Thompson before Jalen Green went on a podcast and ruined that from happening. NBA off season. Nothing like it.
