Neither Green or Sengun have max contract offers. This isn't surprising because the last player to get a max off a rookie deal was Bam Adebayo in 2020. Today is the deadline to sign an extension is today.

Looks more and more that the Rockets will let both become restricted FAs after this season.

This is a fair deal. $35 million AAV instead of the max of $45 million. Essentially a 2 year deal with the 3rd year player option that heโ€™ll most likely void, so the risk is minor and the size and length of the contract is easy to trade.

Something like this was already on the table for both guys, wasn't it?ย  Looks like Green blinked and Sengun is betting on himself.ย ย

Makes him easier to trade for a star now, but yeah this is a great deal for the Rockets.

Thatโ€™s a big commitment to Sengun and a certain style of play. ย

So did we make a similar offer to Green and he chose or shorter deal or does the team simply have more faith in Alpi? ย If so will Green sulk?

I get the feeling Green and his reps wanted a shorter deal to "maximize" his earning window. I am happy both guys got what they apparently wanted and this isn't an issue this season. Both contracts not being max's is big for the Rockets.

I hope it works out with both guys because they gave the Rockets massive savings when they could have played out the season and gotten a max offer from another team that the Rockets would have had to match. I think both guys really want to be Rockets, good for them.

Alpi and Yordan what a time to be alive!

I don't think I would sulk if offered a $106 Million.

If Green didnโ€™t like it he could have just played out his rookie contract and go into restricted free agency. ย This is a compromise option between getting some security. ย If he has a good year the Rockets will want to max out an extension. ย If itโ€™s not heading that direction then itโ€™s probable the Rockets will want to move him. ย 

I'm surprised by both of those deals, but I guess it makes sense if there is a discount. I thought they were holding cap space to try and make a splash signing or trade, and then use the RFA match to go way over the cap, but I guess not. Happy to have Alpi for forever, and kinda meh on the thought of Green for 2 more years. Maybe he gets traded, or maybe he gets his shit together and becomes a perennial all-star. A man can dream.ย 

Lulz, Jalen Green has supposedly grown 2" in this off-season. He was just announced as 6'6" during the intros.

Basically 2 years, $70 million for Green on basically a prove it deal. Thereโ€™s nothing to squint at, thatโ€™s a steal.ย 

Disappointing, it looks like Adams is hurt. He wasn't out there during intros, and Landale was the 1st big off the bench.

Jalen and ลžengรผn earning the bags they just got. Amen has taken a step forward. Jabari is the only guy who is disappointing so far. The depth of this team is sick. Ime is doing a good job of mixing the rotation.

I still don't understand how when you fall down on your own you maintain your pivot foot? That used to be an automatic traveling.

Those 3 are 15-29, 6-7, 7-7 so the rest of the team is 7-24, 1-10, 0-0.

And just like that, Green bricks 3 wide open 3's.

Mr. Glass Half Empty

Still can't shoot and get no calls from the officials. Sengun is getting hammered down low and has only shot 3 FTs.

Horrible 2nd half so far. Weโ€™re now down 2 after being up by 18

Whitmore with a +10 in his 7 1st half minutes, 0 2nd half minutes, he must have been making Green look bad.

I think the +/- stat is worthless. Brooks leads the team at +19 yet has a terrible stat line.ย

and there he was forcing a big TO on Lamelo Ball.

Green's stat line isย 2 REBS,ย 0 ASTS, 0 STLS, 0 BLKS, -6; that is terrible.

ย 

If we miss play-in or are in playin by one game we can look back to this home game against a shitty team. The West is going to be too tight for losses like these.ย 

Getting skull fucked by LaMelo sweet. Buncha dumbfawks

Went to that amazing choke job.ย  jfc someone get a rebound other than Sengun.ย ย 

ย 

It's time to start considering the coaching is bad. I like Ime, but he had the perfect roster in Boston for his style of coaching and play. He doesn't have two elite guys here that can score efficiently like Brown and Tatum.

His rotations in the 2nd half were awful, he panicked when Green started chucking up bricks and tried to go small and the Hornets ripped us a new asshole because no one outside Sengun could get a rebound.

Wish we could have swapped D Mitchell for Green, he would be a perfect fit for this roster as is

We'd also want to replace Van Vleet since Mitchell and Van Vleet are small guards that would play on ball.
