Did they not watch the rockets last season ?
Draya Lit lol
Bruh why are nba Pros casuals? Jalen Green shot 42% in his best season. Jalen green like the 7 best player in the class
It's simple math guys, come on. There's $132m potentially after the 3rd year, totaling $242m over 5 years. That equates to $40m more than the other guys 5 year deal. Now if he makes the qualifiers, he can get even more max money.
Love Jalen but every true Rockets fan knows that Sengun is the best player on the team lol. That’s not a knock on him either.
First, the guys know 1000 x more than I will ever know when it comes to basketball.
With that said a couple of things they are out of touch with as someone who is in Houston and watch podcast and been in discussions.
Jalen green has been wildly inconsistent every season he has played.
Sengun is considered the best prospect with the lowest floor so far.
Houston is in a once in generation situation.
They have TWO ROOKIES they have to pay. Other teams don’t have this dilemma
On top of the 2 current rookies. They literally have 2 rookies every year for like 3 years consecutively to have to give extensions too.
If they set the precedent of giving max contract extensions to rookies who have yet to prove they can take us to the playoffs, then they are going to be having to overpay EVERYONE for 3 years straight.
Ima Houston man an fan hearing them talk this lets me kno they don’t watch tha roccets bc shengoat is tha first option🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️😂😂and our best player
Boyz worried about tve 🤘🏾-tine problems. We got it covered Breaux
He should have gotten more
He just did not lock hiself into the same 224 for 5 like everyone else, within the same 5 he could make way more.
Green was not worth the max. If he out performs his contract, he can opt out in two years and sign for the max.
I would argue its 1-2 more players on the rockets better than him
To Gil's point. These are the bad contracts, that team GMs and owners hope for.
'' jg better than sengun '' damn this is already a milk. imagine how it gonna age lmao
Is he even improving the rockets? Like is they record progressing each year?
he only got 106m for 3yrs and 3rd yr player option because of his (JG) inconsistency. for the next two yrs houston team gamble to give him 35m to play well, and JG's motivation is to play well for the nxt 2yrs to get that max contract. Sengun by the way got 185m for 5yrs and last yr (5th yr) player option.
Sengun is 1000 times the player green is
Sengun is the #1 option why Gil keep saying Jalen is the 1😂😂
This nigga pause so much and just stare when he talking that I be thinking my phone fucked up lol. Who yall think I'm talking about lol
they are great signings
You cant opt out of the 5 yr rookie max after 3.
Jalen green needs to fire his agent. The team built around him for him to not take the Max is crazy
He didn't sign the max cause of Draya 🧐. Imagine how much more she could get in child support.
He’s not gonna play anymore he’s retirement starts now.
lol they think Jalen Green is the the number 1 guy.
Boy child support is waiting too happen
These dudes are so ignorant. Jalen unfortunately just hasn’t been producing consistently since he got with the rockets. They swear that everyone is just entitled to a check. This is a good deal for him.
Sengun is definitely getting a max cause he actually plays every night.
I don’t know if they understand that Jalen will be able to make more overtime with this deal then he would with the conventional rookie max
Jalen has not been better then Sengun 😂
Gilbert figured out. It’s a two year deal. Both Sengun and Jalen signed for less to get out their deal early so they can re-up earlier in a less competitive market with more suitors. Cade, Mobley and Scottie don’t have player options . They’re locked in til 2030. Jalen will get out his deal in 27 at age 25 before he hit his prime for a 3 contract. Jalen will see more extensions over his career. There wasn’t a money out there next summer either. Just two teams had max slot
They may make his a trade piece that’s why you sign now
He's not worth that much money
Financially it won't add up over his career.. #1..#3..#4 all signed $224… #2 $106 but opts out after yr#2 then hopefully can sign MAX Yr#3 of everyone's deal.. #1..#3..#4 then signs MAX year#2 of Jalens deal giving them MORE MAX 💵…. HORRIBLE DEAL for JALEN GREEN
Bad takes on this show
Comparing players like Cade and Barnes to Jalen they got their money for a reason
Plus there nothing wrong with wanting to be part and help a team that’s going up
