Tari Eason's contract year

I note that the Spurs just gave Julian Champagnie $15M per year and the Hawks just declined their $24M option for Jonathan Kuminga. If the Rockets pay Tari more than $20M a year then they're fools.

 

To be fair on Champagnie, the Spurs also declined a $3 million option to give him way more money this year, which has to be factored in when looking at the contract’s value.

 

Warriors just gave Kristaps Porzingis a 2 year, $40M deal. He's only played in 131 games over the past 3 season. Tari? He's only played in 139 games over the same span.

Again, not a penny over $20M a year for Tari.

 

Point taken. But he's also younger, more durable, and arguably better than Tari.

 

And Porzingis is a better player than Tari with a rarer and more valuable archetype. Granted, he's also on the wrong side of 30 now.
