    Best minimum signing I can remember in a long time. Wish Josh the best. He deserves his $6 mil per.

    Stone once gave Tate 3 yr/21M, but he won’t give it to Okogie because Okogie wasn’t draft by him.

    I think he is a better player than Tari.

    Stone did a great job in finding Josh but did a poor job with roster construction so now the Rockets can't keep him.

    I agree, I would trade him for Tari right now.

    That bum (Tari) doesn’t deserve that contract.

    Stone has a tendency of overvaluing the players he drafted.

    always played hard. Great defensive awareness and intensity. Just isn’t talented offensively.

    Great signing since he wasn’t going to be of much use here.

    The debate for years. Was he the best ever Nigerian in the NBA?

    Good for Okogie! He definitely deserves more than the minimum but I was hopeful the Rockets could resign him. The Forward depth is looking kinda thin at the moment.

    Amen/Smart/Bogdanovic
    KD/Tari/

    Sengun/Adams/Capela
