If he only plays 60 games a year due to injury/maintenance you don't overpay that for a defensive player.
GOOD!
Do you know what Tari's salary expectations are, or what the Rockets offered him? I'd like to know what the offer was that he rejected.
Tari is not pivotal. he can leave np. i would trade him asap.
Regrettable. Hard to stomach all the hate he's getting from so called fans here. I guess this cut throat/ tough guy typing is what we are now, also regrettable.
thats sad
10-15 ok .. more? Nope! Bye bye 👋 No need to get emotional. So far, he hasn’t proven anything other than being a backup player. I’m not going to let someone act spoiled just because he’s not leaving. 20–25 million? Maybe if he proves he’s an A-plan player for this team… Would any other team pay that much? With his current contribution, I can only laugh.
It’s okay man
I hope he plays out of his mind this year and stays healthy
the front office will pay him if he can prove he can be available year round
hope they work something out. he's not a dime a dozen player
Tari is replaceable
I think we are going to reallocate the money for Tari Eason to pursue Quentin Grimes next off season.
Trade hin for cj mccollum
Tari is such a good player and culture guy. If you think this is good for the Rockets you are mistaken.
Tari wants to start. It’s cool we can match and most of the times teams don’t go out of their way to offer restricted free agent.
