Tari Injury

Wow! That’s much more serious than I expected. It didn’t look like much at all.

 

Tari played a dangerous game and is losing.

(Who will come back first, Damaged Finney-Smith, Tari sEason-to-sEason, or…Jalen Green)

More Jae’Sean Tate?

“Udoka said guard Aaron Holiday and Jae’Sean Tate will fill Eason’s minutes.”

 

Kid just can't stay healthy, he should have taken the money on the table

 

Can he still swing a bat?

 

Time to dust off Uncle Jeff?

 

Lol right after his mom posted that he's totally fine? Alright.

 

Do we know how much was offered? Hard to say he should of taken the money without knowing that.

 

The timing sucks since DFS is also likely 4-6 weeks away(if not longer).

The only upside to Tari getting hurt now instead of later is that there's a bit of a break in mid-December because of the Cup tournament. So even if he's out the full 6 weeks, he'd miss around 18 games which is manageable. My hope is it's no worse than 5 weeks and he's back for that game at Denver on 12/20.

This is honestly the reason the Rockets were hesitant to go all in on the guy this past summer. He hasn't had a fully healthy year since he was a rookie. Tari is a guy you probably can't count on to play more than 2/3 of any given NBA season.

 

Unc >>>>>> Tate

Unc too good to be playing garbage minutes with Isaiah Crawford.

 

The rumor is that it was 5 years 110 million but it wasn't completely guaranteed for injury and Tari's people wanted it fully guaranteed.

 

No team is gonna guarantee him 9 figures given his injury history. At least not after this latest setback. He needed to get through this season without anything major happening and that just went out the window.

 

I knew the "it's just a bruise" diagnosis was too good to be true. This franchise habitually downplays injuries to the media at first. The way Tari walked off the court, he was obviously in a lot of pain

 

Wow, I had no idea he was gonna be out that long

 

Whats the max you'd be comfortable giving him from the Rockets perspective?

I hope we can get for like a 4/70 type deal

 

Love yer new avatar

 

I'd be fine with 20-22 mil a season for 4 years with the last being a team option. I want him to remain a Rocket, but I view him like I do with Steven Adams. Someone who I'm pricing in as only playing roughly 60 games a year.

 

this is not a downplay IMO. they told us what happened after he was revaluated the very next day. Personally i think they should OVERPLAY and say Tari died when he walked off the court and tell us sike he's alive.

 

There's no timetable for his return. I would assume if he were a couple weeks away, the team would say so. At this point, I'd be surprised if he suits up before 2026.

 

Need more Jeff Green here than Tate.

 

We see Tari differently, and that’s aces. I believe his skill set is difficult to define and therefore difficult to replicate. It’s like he should do the Allstate mayhem commercials.
