According to multiple reports, the Houston Rockets will sign former Toronto Raptors point guard Fred VanVleet to a 3-year, $130 million max contract, when the league’s contract moratorium is lifted July 6.

VanVleet was considered Houston’s top target, and one of the best free agents on the market for the 2023-24 season. The undrafted point guard won a championship with the Raptors in 2019, and made the All-Star game in 2022.
