Having Tari and DFS playing makes a huge difference

Our garbage time squad has been complete ass the last two games. They almost gave the Pacers a weird comeback tonight.

It definitely wasn’t just the bench. The starters gave up 28 points in the fourth before the bench came in

Least closest 7 point game in history. That 3rd string Pacers line up was no joke

Rockets are not gonna be able to keep all this talent on the team in the upcoming years, no way they are able to hold all three Jabari , Eason and reed.. Jabari as the clear fourth option is averaging 16 ppg and 7 rpg and on most nights is over shadowed by reed , Eason and Steven Adam’s as he quietly goes about his business.

Eason is likely an odd man out unless he takes a deal since he can’t stay healthy

Already got bari on a contract. Tari might be tricky since he seems to feel kinda undervalued, but really he’s prolly a similarish value as bari but not as durable.

Reed and amen are tricky.. amen was seen as a sure fire max guy last year, he started slow but has been playing much better lately . Still no 3 pt shot, so not sure if they’ll give him a max.

Reed is gonna get hunted on d, but he at least tries and has quick hands, and if he continues to improve he could get himself a bag..

Thankfully stone has gotten very team friendly deals and hopefully will be able to continue and keep them on

Rockets are in a good position to retain Eason mainly because of how much bubble wrapping he needs. Any team that wants to take him away from Houston will need to offer a contract big enough that Houston won’t match, but he literally does not play b2b games, has minute management and has consistently missed half the season.

Considering how punitive the new CBA is, especially with 2nd apron, most teams cannot afford to overpay to steal an injury prone player.

Amen is a different story, Rockets are probably not comfortable giving him a max, but he honestly looks like he will get a max offer from at least one other team. His floor is absurdly high, he is easily the type of guy that will be getting 36 minutes a game on any contender because he provides so much to winning even if he can’t shoot.

Jabari and sengun took smaller contracts thay what they would have gotten had they waited

Kd took smaller than what he got Id imagine amen will too Reed isnt a concern for that yet

Tari is likely gone if he continues to want around 25 milliona year

There is no such thing as garbage time when it comes to the Houston Rockets.
