    Good for him, not easy for a 29 year old be toiling away like that.

    Stop it

    The Rockets have already been putting work in before Fred came

    Let's not act like FVV just got them working out this off season like he's instilling some culture

    Yes, but when the ink isn’t even dry on the contract and he’s already working out with Jalen, I’m sure the players can respect that.

    Are we really going to pretend the culture is improving on its own when it hasn't improved at all, ever, over 3 straight years?

    Has anyone besides Clutch reported that the 3rd year is a team option? I haven't seen that anywhere else. It'd be really weird, and probably unprecedented, for such details to not leak out yet to the more mainstream reporters.

    I think he was the first to put this out and later Clutch confirmed on his own accord as well

    But yeah the likes of Bobby Marks/Shams/Woj haven't addressed it

    Hmmm. Well, no offense to those two, but I'd feel better about it coming from at least an Iko or Feigan. It's weird if neither of those guys have been able to confirm this.

    Feigan confirmed it on July 2.

    https://www.houstonchronicle.com/te...of VanVleet's,through the contract and beyond.

    "The third season of VanVleet’s three-year, $130 million contract is a team option, a person with knowledge of the deal said."

    just taking a page out of Haymitch's concern but Feigan could just be referencing the same Gatlin/Clutch after they both put out their tweets on July 1st lol

    He’s the team mouthpiece. If he says it it’s legit.

    what's that thing they're working out with, the one that looks like a police battering ram?

    Jalen is putting in work in general. Last offseason all we got was pictures of him in Paris going to fashion shows. This year I only see pictures of him training. He's taking this serious

    Josh Christopher is probably broken hearted, Jalen replaced him so quickly...

    These hoes ain't loyal.

    In that picture of the sled thing, Jalen looking hungry for that dry hump.

    a year from now he is able to get a new contract. not just him but anyone in his position that can't take the time before the season to be serious would be nuts.

    I’d actually love to know what they are actually doing and how it translates to basketball. Like running uphill on concrete looks great but is horrible for your knees. Are they jerking off a rope in this picture?
