    It's ****ing big contract for an injury prone player.

    In addition, Tari was not playing good last season.

    Stone is an idiot.

    Anyone can be overpaid.

    Happy for Tari and happy for the Rockets. 15m per season will be nothing compared to the cap in 5 years.

    Tari had injury problem every season.

    Grimes got less 6 million per season.
    Tari doesn't deserve that long contract.

    Stone does it again. Despite all the haters on CF crying about the lack of sexy moves Stone just puts his head down and keeps getting good deals for the team.

    16M a year for Tari after he turned down 100M last year you should learn to appreciate what you have and not be too greedy. At least he should be happy betting on himself didnt backfire as much as Dennis Schroder.

    Out of the young guys Tari has the lowest ceiling and prone to mistakes but you know when he was hitting 3s at 40% he was pretty good. At least we have one heck of a 3nD locked for the foreseeable future.

    Just flat out a dude that I would hang out with. Unbelievable that guys talk trash about his going for a bag. I’d fight for a big pay package regardless of my health , would you?

    Extrapolating all that from a tweet is a joke.

    We are a playoff team for the foreseeable future. He raises our ceiling in the playoffs, even if he's hurt a lot during the year. This is a good deal for that profile.

    Tari Eason

    Post season: 13.8 pts 6.7 rbs 1.7 assists, shooting 47% and 33%

    regular season: 10.5 pts 6.3 rbs 1.5 assists, shooting 41.6% and 35.8%

    Games played in 3 years: 22, 57, 60

    I don't think Tari deserves that 80 millions contract.

    You can get many good players with 16 million a season.
