    I said it 2 years ago that Jabari would be on the Rockets for the next decade. I have not changed my mind at all. He is a winning player just like Sheppard is. I am not saying they are first team all nba. I am saying under the implied contracts (Jabari already got his) they are winning players that crater a cohesive team with a winning atmosphere.

    Now Jabari will be with the Rockets throughout his prime and will something like the 50-60 best player in the nba while being paid 80-90th most per year by the last few years in his contract.

    TS% doesn’t change the fact that their skill level as players were not the same comparatively in the first four years of their career.
