One-time NBA All-Star and 2019 champion Fred VanVleet has agreed to a three-year, $130 million contract with the Houston Rockets, according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.
The 29-year-old averaged 19.3 points , 7.2 assists, 4.1 rebounds and 1.8 steals in 36.7 minutes over 69 games for the Raptors last season. VanVleet declined a $22.8 million option to play in Toronto next season, instead entering unrestricted free agency for a second time in his seven-year career.
VanVleet started alongside six-time All-Star point guard Kyle Lowry in the 2019-20 campaign, and they led the Raptors to 53 wins and Game 7 of the Eastern Conference semifinals in the absence of Kawhi Leonard. VanVleet earned a four-year, $85 million contract from Toronto in 2020 free agency, and his performance as a show-runner eventually made the aging Lowry expandable in 2021.
Asked in the aftermath of a season-ending loss to the Chicago Bulls in the play-in tournament if Toronto's slide would impact his free-agency decision, VanVleet told reporters,"I think we’ve built something special here. My whole NBA life is here, so I think that holds some value and some weight. I think the relationship with management and coaching is all in a great place, and that hasn’t changed. I don’t necessarily want to go through another season like this.
