    We all know it was a horrible time to buy - Rockets finally had cash to spend the free agent market was weak-

    Fred is not going to save us....he is a 17-18 ppg midget dude who shows up in 1 out of 3 games.

    At least had a good 20 games in the beginning.

    Who cares? He will be gone next season. We may end up regretting getting Brooks far more than Fred.

    FVV fans keep telling me that he's bringing in culture, identity, and coaching. Where and how exactly? Our offense is **** with him and without him. Exactly what does his hero ball instill? Outside of is his increasingly sparse good shooting nights, FVV has been mid AF. Man isn't worth $20M, much less the double and soon to be more than double price we are paying him. But he's kale salad right? Therefore not overpaid!

    He would have had about 15 assists if the Rockets could shoot at all. He was setting guys up all night to score, but they put up bricks.
