Now the bad news: Houston’s decision to extend Jalen Green earlier in the day was among the more befuddling contracts I’ve seen in a while. I think this deal has very few routes toward being a positive value for the Rockets. I informally polled four front-office executives regarding the deal just to see if they were on the same page, and there was a general sense of confusion regarding why the Rockets chose to do this deal now. Two of those executives simply didn’t rate Green all that highly as a player and wouldn’t have been interested in extending his contract right now. That’s fair enough given his play thus far. Those executives may turn out right, or they may turn out wrong. But even the other two who were willing to think more deeply about Houston’s plan still came away questioning the structure of the contract. -via New York Times / October 24, 2024
