    We've always known he plays well against scrubs though. He sees those g leaguers and plays out of his mind. Let's see what happens when the real season starts,

    Jalen Green chose the SAFETY first, not the team - but the SAFETY of a guaranteed contract, and GOOD FOR HIM - this was a smart move on both levels and probably the rest of the league is thinking they should have been doing this all along too.

    I think if Jalen even had a decent-ish year he had a chance at a similar and longer contract from another team. He clearly likes it here and wants to stay and the Rockets think he has some unfinished business (as does he).

    Good for both sides. I'm not expecting March Jalen but I'm hoping for pre-season Jalen. Good vibes going into the season as well.

    Exactly, it's an awful contract. If Green plays well, he opts out and demands more money.

    If he stays a terrible player, the Rockets are stuck paying him for this season and 3 more.

    It's lose/lose.

    Because if they gave Sengun the extension he earned without giving Green an extension he didn't earn, it would be a hit to Green's ego and cause locker room problems.

    It's like the spoiled kid that has their parents buy them a present when going to someone else's birthday party.

    Jalen has that Adidas, Audemars Piquet, Google, Liquid Death, Paco Rabanne Ad money coming in he wasnt worried about a contract - he even said as much he was locked in for the year. Sengun on the other hand WAS constantly thinking about his money which makes sense as he's not really a face of anything or has anything of value to endorse so a really nice gesture from Jalen to step up to the table and deliver such a creative extension and allow his bud to provide for the next few generations of his family.

    In watching the interviews, seems as if Jalen is genuinely happy to be here, Sengun looks irritated he signed for less.

    Exactly... Jalen doesn’t care about how much he makes; he just enjoys being in Houston. Sengun is a lot like Jokic, just as Jokic is passionate about horse racing, Sengun is all about the dollars. More dollars!
