Chicago Bulls Receive: F OG Anunoby, F/C Chris Boucher, F/C Thaddeus Young, 2026 First-Round Pick (TOR), 2027 First-Round Pick (Swap – TOR)
Toronto Raptors Receive: G/F Zach LaVine
It is clear that the Raptors will not be able to retain VanVleet in a realistic manner. In light of the contract that he was given by the Houston Rockets, no.
There is no doubt that the Rockets overpaid. It is a fact that cannot be denied by anyone. If you asked the Rockets’ front office (after giving them a truth serum), they’d probably agree with you.
They had no choice but to do what they had to do. It is no secret that the Rockets have been one of the worst teams in the NBA for a long time. It is their goal this season to put an end to that streak.
It was inevitable that they would have to overpay free agents if they were going to do this. It is also important to give VanVleet some credit at the same time.
