Flexibility people remember that the rockets wants to have cap room just in case if guys like Devin Booker or Darius Garland are available
For Sengun I believe he deserves to get the max but I’m sure he understands why the rockets are waiting until next summer to give him a extension. If he continues to ball out and play at the level he was and even beyond that and be like a top 40 player he going to get a massive pay day once he hit restricted free agency
As for Jalen Green his situation is different he been so bad and in inconsistent the rockets have no reason to extend him. For him it’s crucial for him to be consistent to show the rockets he deserves to be a key piece for us going forward and why he deserves to be a max level player.
This year is important for Jalen and Sengun especially Jalen to show that they are key pieces to our core moving forward if they don’t they will be traded for a star level player
So hopefully they ball out if they do the trade rumors regarding them will die down
I get the reasoning, however I just looked up the 2025 free agent class and it's garbage!
Sengun will be a rocket his whole career
Very excited for our 2024-2025 season. Appreciate the detailed explanation about why it does not make financial sense to extend Alperen Şengün or Jalen Green; the biggest one being that we want to make sure we have enough cap space / move able contracts and available cash to counter any offers from other teams once Alperen Şengün hits free agency. My feeling is that a lot of teams will express serious interest, and his value will continue to increase through this season in his year 4. I am very good with resigning Aaron Holiday. We have a great team and a deep bench. All of our needs have been addressed. We have two new shooters: one proven in AJ Griffin, if he can bounce back from whatever happened last year AND Reed Sheppard, whether his development be slow or fast.
It will be wonderful to get a healthy Tari Eason back and to see what leaps Cam Whitmore and Amen Thompson take in his 2nd year. So much to look forward to!
