schwockemBto Houston Rockets@nba.space•How the Rockets can keep most of the young players together even if all hit their ceilingsEnglish1·1 year agoGreat analysis u/Big_Fungus22, thanks for puttin in the work.
I was a big fan of the three year tank because it gave us more options to hit on a number one option type of guy. But one issue with that playbook is that these rookie extensions all hit around the same time and you have to make several long-term decisions on fairly unknown quantities. I do think that the most likely scenario is that we package a couple of these guys in a trade
Also, it’s a bit mindboggling that Sengun could get a $56M AAV contract this off-season… that’s more than Lebron makes now

My sense is we probably wouldn’t want to unless we had a clear “best player on a championship team” type emergence so that we could keep cap space for a blockbuster trade / FA landing
Brunson and Markkanen were on my consideration list, great contract values
