    Ok, I checked, and he signed a 4 year contract with a Player option, what the actual....

    You have tons of great role players coming in with the Drafts 2026-2028, also a lot of 21-23 year olds coming in.

    I think after two years it’s a player and a team option.

    Not sure what his being a 38% shooter over the last 5 seasons, indicating that he's more than just a one-year wonder in LA, has to do with this.

    That said, 2 of the years are not guaranteed. You can bold the sentence about great role players in the drafts for 2026-2028, but odds are the Rockets don't draft a prospect in the first round before the guaranteed portion of DFS's contract is over much less one that immediately becomes a great role player.

    Just me realizing he was signed to 4 years, I was almost certain he signed the same duration as Durant.....oh well.

    I never said he was a One Hit wonder, that is a phenomenon more reserved for the music industry... and a certain Tyreke Evans or MCW.
    just more pedestrian than people hoped he would be, their 3pt savior.

    DFS is out again tonight. At what point do we chalk this up as a bust of a signing?

    I noticed no Barkley? Although I got no ill will with Chuck; especially cause he took less money to come.

    by the end of February. But why sign a guy who is gonna miss substantial time and will be coming off major surgery? Why do that over other available options? Why take the risk?

    Can't risk re-injuring that tradeable contract.

    You trade him to a bad team that has cap space (like the Nets)to take that contract and get a serviceable player on a cheaper deal (like a Cam Thomas)

    This ended up being a bad signing. Stone effed up not signing Nickeil Alexander Walker.
