After various U.S. media outlets confirmed VanVleet's torn ACL, Beastbrook, a Willis fan number with 23,000 followers, took to social media to call on the Rockets to sign Willis.

Beastbrook wrote: "Pray for VanVleet. It's time for Westbrook and KD to reunite at the Rockets. What if we reunite Willis with KD and Adams? It's never wrong, it's just a little early."

But salary expert Bobby Marks has already warned that the Rockets would have to make a trade to lower their payroll if they want to fill the point guard via free agency.
