Possible options I see for Houston’s remaining space (about $24 million):
1. Dillon Brooks ($12-18 million annually)
2. If they insist on pursuing a center, they can trade for Clint Capela into their cap space or by sending out KPJ, Tate, etc… after signing Dillon Brooks – 2:45 PM

Now would be a hilarious time for the Rockets to sign Brook Lopez or Dillon Brooks. – 12:31 PM

Small thought: if the Sixers want to get in on Damian Lillard, I’d be trying to sign Dillon Brooks today.
They need a start-able forward to replace Tobias Harris in that deal if he leaves. I really like the idea of a Dame-Melton-Brooks-Tucker-Embiid lineup. – 12:29 PM

Right now, Houston has the cap space for either Dillon Brooks or Brook Lopez. Probably not both.
If they want to clear the space to get both, I imagine they could dump Kevin Porter Jr’s. weird, one-year guaranteed contract by attaching an FRP. FVV makes KPJ unnecessary anyway. – 9:22 PM

More on this storyline
Salman Ali: Woj says the Rockets are still aggressively pursuing Fred VanVleet, Brook Lopez, and Dillon Brooks. An offer has been put in front of VanVleet. Says Houston intends to use all of their cap space tonight. -via Twitter @SalmanAliNBA / June 30, 2023
Michael Grange: Dillon Brooks has meetings set up with Houston, Milwaukee and Lakers (!). Philly a possibility. -via Twitter @michaelgrange / June 30, 2023
Ahead of the beginning of free agency, Houston’s brass traveled to Los Angeles to set up camp and prepare for a number of meetings that will take place over the next few days. At the outset, they will meet with with wing Dillon Brooks and center Brook Lopez, league sources say. They also hope to meet with Van Vleet and his representatives. -via The Athletic / June 30, 2023
