October 20, 20241 yr Who do we think pairs better with Sengun, Cam or Green? Thereโs the big trade.ย
October 21, 20241 yr 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.
October 21, 20241 yr Author 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 heโll most likely void, so the risk is minor and the size and length of the contract is easy to trade.

October 21, 20241 yr 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 Edited October 21, 20241 yr by A-Tex Devil
October 21, 20241 yr Makes him easier to trade for a star now, but yeah this is a great deal for the Rockets.

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. Edited October 21, 20241 yr by HtownHorn

If Green didnโt 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 itโs not heading that direction then itโs probable the Rockets will want to move him. ย
October 23, 20241 yr 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
October 24, 20241 yr Lulz, Jalen Green has supposedly grown 2" in this off-season. He was just announced as 6'6" during the intros.
October 24, 20241 yr Basically 2 years, $70 million for Green on basically a prove it deal. Thereโs nothing to squint at, thatโs a steal.ย
October 24, 20241 yr Disappointing, it looks like Adams is hurt. He wasn't out there during intros, and Landale was the 1st big off the bench.
October 24, 20241 yr Author Jalen and ลengรผn 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. Edited October 24, 20241 yr by Macklemore
October 24, 20241 yr 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. Edited October 24, 20241 yr by HtownHorn

October 24, 20241 yr Still can't shoot and get no calls from the officials. Sengun is getting hammered down low and has only shot 3 FTs.
October 24, 20241 yr Whitmore with a +10 in his 7 1st half minutes, 0 2nd half minutes, he must have been making Green look bad.
October 24, 20241 yr 3 minutes ago, HtownHorn said: 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

October 24, 20241 yr 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
October 24, 20241 yr Went to that amazing choke job.ย jfc someone get a rebound other than Sengun.ย ย ย
October 24, 20241 yr 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. Edited October 24, 20241 yr by HtownHorn
October 24, 20241 yr Wish we could have swapped D Mitchell for Green, he would be a perfect fit for this roster as is
