Predictions on the extension of the contract for 2025 NBA Rookie scale players

The rockets jumped from lottery game to the playoff candidate in the past two years. Although they lost to the Golden State Warriors in the first round, their young talent gives up and down the squad.

The bill was due for Alperen Şengün and Jalen Green in the last low season. The rockets now have to decide whether Jabari Smith Jr. and Tari Eason should be expanded this summer, or enable them to test a limited freelance agency next year. Breakout player Aemen Thompson will be expanded next summer.

Eason is a hard, physical defender that fits the style of the team, but Houston may not be ready to reinvest into him. He tried to stay healthy all year round, and with her wage and salary billing, Thompson performed and potential stars from players such as Giannis Antetocounmpo or Devin Booker, which could restrict how much the rockets will do now.

Current average values ​​(57 games, 16 starts): 24.9 minutes, 12.0 points, 6.4 rebounds, 34.2 percent from three

Closest comp: Corey Kispert (four years, 54 million US dollars), but Eason could think that it is Trey Murphy III (four years, 112 million US dollars)

Expectation: No deal (if it is traded, a new team can be ready)
