  1. The discount KD accepted to extend his contract is generous and team-friendly.
    The contract offered to Tari shouldn't be a penny more than (13.3 million) the one given to DFS, there are much better free agents who would accept that money immediately.
    The Rockets need to get rid of Reed, Holiday and Tate at the first opportunity.

  2. Good for KD and good for the Rockets. It shows he’s not all about the money and I’m really happy to have him here in Houston.

  3. 20 mil a year should be the cap for Tari. The Rockets still don't know if the guy is fully healthy and can play B2Bs. Also, he's likely to remain a reserve as long as KD is here, so you don't want to overpay for your 6th man.

  4. I’m so excited to get the extension on Tari Eason after this, we are ensuring our future dynasty with the contracts of Sengun, Jabari, KD for the now, Tari soon hopefully

  5. Great news
    I said KD 2 year 90 millions
    Tari is not worth the same amount as JABARI. I will give him 15 to 18 per year. He is a bench player. I hope he can become the 6th man
    Good day

  6. Tari needs to be signed. He fits the long term plans. Would prefer MLE money but understand he want the hometown overpay. I feel like he worth the overpay but front offices are being real careful now. Bad contracts become a guaranteed way not to win a title
