20 comments

1. As always very good analysis Frank . Thank you

2. Stone must’ve read The Art of the Deal by Donald Trump

3. just an fyi Sengun IS NOT making more money than Green. The contract is longer but Green is making more per year next year (rookie scale) and the next 2 seasons after that. Green's option year if taken he would still be making more per season that year as well.

4. Jalen Green is woeful at best

5. Signing JG in a 3 year extension shows Stone doesn’t really believe in him but I can understand.

6. I'm happy for the Rockets as well as these two players. I have an additional question: which one of the two got the better deal, from a long term perspective, compared to each other?

7. Great points! Honestly the national media don’t know what they are talking about.

8. I wakeup to search for your analysis bro. I was so happy last night and and more happy now after listening to everything you said. I'm looking forward to tomorrow game because this season will be the most fun since we where up 3-2 against GSW in the playoffs.

   I also we're taking a similar path as the OKC and this year we will become relevan in this league once again and end up in the 5-6 seed no matter what the media is saying. After watching the NBA for 30yrs, I feel confident to differ with the "experts" here and there.

   Finally something the has blown out my mind, is the among of coverage that these contract extensions have received from the media and special Jalen Green, as most of them talk about him as "Rockets star, Jalen Green".

   The party start tomorrow for us. See you on X!

9. steal steal steal

10. Who won? WE WON 🤘

    We know what Rafael Stone is a contract lawyer, and we trust in his ability to come up with non-conventional deals that'll give us some flexibility, right?

    It's one thing for him to negotiate these deals. It's another for Alpi and Jalen's camp to accept it.

    This lets me know that the Rockets organization has leverage — they see the amount of growth they that they had under one year of Udoka, the type of team that were building here, and they both said: "We want to be a part of this, we'll take less."

    And like you said, this sets the standard for everyone else on the roster. This is huge in the age of "Chasing the Bag." We just expanded our window for being really competitive in the west. Increasing our chances to win a championship.

11. Holy overpay for Jalen. At least it’s only a 3 year deal. Makes him tradeable

12. Was stupid to lose sengun end green good job 👏 let's gooo rockets 🚀

13. The jalen deal isn’t really a good one imo but the sengun one makes up for it

14. It is a WIn Win for everyone a 100 + mil is a 100 + mil and saving for the future is saving❤

15. Ingenious from Rafael stone.

16. 5 years? he will regret it

17. The new CBA made it so that small markets could keep their home grown stars. All it created was a situation where desirable locations can get home grown stars at discounts and undesirable destinations need to max players that haven't earned it. Basically created an "Undesirable City" tax.

18. Hope the other members of the core 7 willing to give discounts also.

19. Love the work u putting in

20. This was the best deal for jalen, no matter how he plays he can just turn down the last year and leave with no problems, if i was the rockets i wouldve pushed for atleast 4 years, cuz now they only in control of a #2 pick for 6 years instead of 9. Also if jalen wants to leave this was the move that needed to be made to facilitate that.
