Houston Rockets fans are in disbelief after the team signed Dillon Brooks to a massive four-year, $80 million dollar deal. Brooks, who spent the first six years of his career with the Memphis Grizzlies, has a huge burden after his antics backfired last season.
ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski first reported the news, while The Athletic’s Kelly Echo revealed details of Brooks’ contract. The four-year deal will be guaranteed and there will be no player option for Brooks or a team option for the Rockets in the final year.
Brooks seemed headed out of the NBA and into China based on what many fans said on social media. However, he made it to the All-Defensive Second Team and remains one of the best perimeter defenders in the league.

Houston Rockets fans were in disarray after the news that Dillon Brooks had signed with their team. Brooks was one of the most hated players in the NBA last season and he could continue that trend next season.
One fan thinks the Rockets will keep losing next season:
Glad to know they will still be a dysfunctional team.
Another fan thinks they’ll be the same Rockets though with the addition of Dillon Brooks and Fred VanVleet:
“They would even lmao cheeks.”
This fan thought the Rockets wasted a total of $210 million on Brooks and VanVleet:
“A lot of money without results.”
One fan had to say this as an ode to NASA and Apollo 13:
“Houston we have a problem.”
This fan actually claims the Rockets don’t make the postseason:
“We still haven’t made the playoffs.”
Here are the other reactions to Dillon Brooks’ deal with the Rockets:
Adrian Wojnarowski added that Brooks’ annual salary will decrease during his term. Spotrac revealed that he will receive a salary of $21.6 million in the first year and $18.4 million in the final year of the deal.

The Houston Rockets parted ways with several young players to make playing time for Dillon Brooks
The Houston Rockets have been very busy the first two days of free agency. They signed Fred VanVleet to a three-year, $130 million contract, with the addition of Dillon Brooks on a four-year, $80 million deal. They also brought in Jock Landall to a four-year, $32 million contract, and acquired Patty Mills from the Brooklyn Nets.
Houston also saved some playing time for Brooks by trading several young players. Kenyon Martin Jr. was dealt to the Los Angeles Clippers twice in the second round, and Usman Garuba and Ty Tai Washington were dealt to the Atlanta Hawks.
Josh Christopher, who spent a promising two years with the Rockets, will be traded to the Memphis Grizzlies, possibly as a signing-and-trade deal for Brooks. With all the moves he’s made, Houston could be considered for the playoffs next season.
