Danuel House Contract Options (I have grown to love LTS)

Not sure, but he made 7 million over 5 years in the NBA. If House is really as good as we all hope, the money will come, but you gotta play in the NBA on something of a rookie scale contract first before the masses believe in you. That's how it works for all the superstars out there.. why would House be different?

KJ McDaniels bet on himself like this and made about 7 before fizzling out of the league. Troy Williams seems to be surviving out there making NBA money. Players that seem to make a lot of money and struggle to start out have a skill that stands out. Like PJ Tucker... dude made a nice bed on top of his excellent defense. What does House do that excels? If it's nothing, why not just play the role of contributing pawn? Lots of dudes make names for themselves by just being the contributing pawn that will do what's asked of them.

If he's a glue guy that can make any offense tick, make that bed and sleep in it every night. But you have to be in the league a while before anyone will believe you. A series of 1 year deals proves this to be true.

Who knows what he's thinking... but you gotta play to prove that your thinking is right and that takes being a pawn for a bit.

That's a great list, but those guys are all veterans that already played out their contracts. House has yet to sign one. He had the opportunity to sign one and didn't. Ultimately I'm confused as to why he would say he's like the list above. He's played less than 50 games and they're all at like their 500th.

 

Do you think he would be capable of making a single 3 pointer in the midst of 27 misses in a row? If so that would move the needle.

 

Ha.. if he is anything like the Houston fan that I was when I was a kid, I'd go out and practice the shots the team missed during the playoffs. So he might of perfected that 3 stroke after the 27 misses?

Maybe no.

 

This dude get's it. This team got better without him. He could now be toxic and I hope Morey finds out before they do bring him back for the playoffs

 

Good point. If we convert House and he becomes a distraction, what are our options? Cut him?

 

You seem to be guaranteeing we will convert him. I can see why we would, but I don't feel like that's a guarantee yet.

 

As a starter he averaged 10.6 ppg, 4.3 rpg, 1.6 apg in 29.3 mpg with 48.1% three point shooting!!! And he played decent defense and can fill in at PF.

He's not make or break... but in a world where there is a cap... House type players are required.

 

shhhh. stop it. we're trying to get cf's $25

 

yeah its extremely puzzling how there's actually people that think an undrafted player who has yet to even play enough games to qualify for 1 season is skipping steps and just jumping over 1st round pick money. And this for his 1st actual nba contract. that's what happens when you're a player only fan and disregard aspects that truly matter

 

Based on what? He played around 25 games. Before that he was a journeyman who nobody else wanted. And he's spent most of this season in the G-League. Even if he gets converted in 2 1/2 weeks, he may never get off the bench if the rest of the roster is healthy. Shumpert and Green would get minutes over House. Hell, even Gary Clark may be ahead of him in the rotation.

BTW, I'm not saying House isn't a good player capable of contributing to the team. But he made his bed and now he's laying in it. He screwed himself out of a starting spot on a title contender, cost himself at minimum hundreds of thousands of dollars, and will likely wind up on another cheap minimum deal this summer since he'll have put up such a small sample in the NBA that no team will risk millions of dollars on him.

 

Biyombo had been getting regular rotation minutes for several years he was also a lottery pick.

Biyombo had never been cut let alone 3 times in one year.

House has done nothing comparable to the guys on your list who were starters or were getting heavy rotation minutes for full seasons.

 

you would have thought Harden, Green, Gordon and Ariza would have been able of making a single 3 pointer.

what's your point is House now some Korver type shooter?

 

He's also a pretty darn good rim protector that can move up and down the court. Those guys have value that isn't comparable at all to House' skill set.

 

Ok ima remember u we he does.

 

If Rockets dont sign House at the end of the season for the playoffs and we lose in the playoffs.

I guarantee there will be 10+ posts on CF blaming Tilman for saving money by not signing House.

 

Ding ding the Rational guy.......what I been saying all along word for word.....simply it's a business..fans want guys to take less...but u should always look out for your I repeat ur best interests..he betting on himself n objectively it's the right move period. That amount will always be there. Hey maybe u can get more go for it
