    I just looked at that contract. Dang, that doesn’t look good. Not the worst. But, ouch.

    It was dumb then and dumb now. But my guess is this is ALL Ime and once you let a coach dictate his roster and not catering to our strengths: fast break and fast paced given all our youth. Watching us play so slow is just mind numbing.

    Stone keeps risking on older injured players trying to pull a fast one.

    Adams has been good but now is out again....old players that are injured keep getting injured.

    What is ouch about 2 years guaranteed in which Stone isn't risking any young talent?

    Basically, Stone is trying to give the young players talent to work with. If they don't work out, roster resets in 2-3 years. Stone has kept the cream of the young players they have drafted. I don't see why some people are so against trying to win games now and games later.

    Its an expiring by next year how d hell is that an ouch? 12M is chump change if he was healthy or played like in 2024.

    Tbh I am not even sure why he has been this bad that ankle surgery wasnt even due to injury, it was supposed to be a minor procedure and clean up any problems left by previous injuries instead seems like it made him lose all his quickness and shooting touch which is just mind boggling.

    I didn’t know it’s an expiring contract. That does make a difference.

    I thought it was a 4 year deal with a player option the last year.

    The last 2 years are nonguaranteed, even though he has a player option for the last year. Player option does not turn non-guaranteed money into guaranteed.

    DFS progress certainly has been slow. After 16 games not much spark there yet. He was quite productive in multiple scenarios in the past. I guess the question is how much time are the Rockets willing to spend trying to get him back up to speed. I imagine it will happen at some point.

    My patience is pretty much gone.

    It’s a moveable contract. Offer a couple SRP’s and see who bites.

    Clutchfans. The only place where a player young in 4th year, can get a pass for being too young and still learning. He’s only 22.


    And

    old off a injury. Give him time lol.

    I love it.

    This is accusatory without any facts. Coaches usually work hand in hand with management to identify and acquire players. A GM and his team would be stupid to not consult coaching. It’s always been a collaborative effort

    He didn’t have a pre season and any summer practices and was out since June. so he may just be very very rusty and this past month has been his training camp it seems. Hopefully he gets right in couple weeks and not a sign of decline
