    They still perform a service for the league and need to be compensated. On an exhibit 10 He can’t get more than 85,300 guaranteed money this year if he stays with the vipers for 60 days.

    This is why players get resentful of fans.



    The dude who acts like he's the nicest guy in the world but once the girl lets him know she's not interested he turns around with the "fck you betch" lol

    But what am I going to do with my clutchfans Tari/Atari t-shirt?

    all these latest deals are a good reminder that it was wise to get off that Jalen green contract. $36 mil per? Yikes.

    I am prez of the Tari fan club, but $20 mil per is probably the most the org should do. He just hasn’t earned more than that up to this point. His availability and lack of shooting keep him below that number. The guys making over $20 are either really good shooters or have made all defense, and they havent missed a ton of time like Tari. Even Dillon was our best shooter the last two seasons. I get that being a 6th man works against him and that he’s good enough to start, but he needs to play a full season before he can really make that argument.

    Losing Tari would suck and I don’t mind a slight overpay, but a significant overpay would be bad for the org. If his agent negotiated the Pat Williams contract he’s probably unreasonable. That’s possibly the worst contract in the league. Both side need to compromise if he wants to be here. If he doesn’t want to be here that not anything we can control.

    I hope it works out. I think the best of Tari is yet to come.

    I'm not sure Grimes is a Udoka kind of player, but for sure I think Tari is on the trade block if he doesn't sign a team friendly deal. He's by far the most expendable piece of the young core due to him being at the deepest position on the team.

    If we cannot reach a deal it’s because Tari and his mom think he’s worth too much since he hasn’t proven a damn thing. So I’d be really disappointed if he actually turns out to be another KJ Martin father and son typt of deal.

    Oh damn just realized @RB713 had the scoop first on Tari not singing extension 4 hours ago. His mom being a major hurdle in negotiations.

    Tari is crazy if he doesn't take an extension.....

    With his injury history, he could find himself settling for a lot less than is being offered now...

    I get that Tari is probably asking for too much but the org gave Jalen green $36 mil per after 3 bad seasons. And while I like the Bari contract, he just hasnt played that well through his 3 yrs. So these guys have been paid on future expectation. I get why Tari thinks he deserves a good payday. Hopefully both sides will compromise. I don’t think anyone here knows what we are offering Tari. If someone does please post!

    Tari also wants to start no? Could be a wrinkle in these negotiations also.

    In this economy you have to take the garuneed money when you can get it. Victor Olidipo is in China right now after passing up max money from the rockets. Fred literally tore his ACL during training camp but he has 50 mil coming his way no matter what happens.

    This could also signal that the Rockets think he might be more useful as young trade chip for this season, i.e. Derrick White.

    Dude, it was a joke post because the dude said he thought he could get Tari for $20. I genuinely can't believe you quoted that with a serious response lmao.

    You'd need many times Tari's salary to pull off a trade like that.

    but he’s less valuable trade wise as an RFA. We won’t get optimum value for him. That’s the problem with trading a guy on the last yr of his deal.

    but I do think if they can’t agree to an extension Tari will be traded. They aren’t gonna let him get an offersheet in the offseason that risks losing him for nothing. That would be really really dumb.
