Houston Rockets News

first stop of the season: OKC 🛫

Tari Eason and the Houston Rockets did not come to agreement on an extension, sources told @YahooSports. Both sides had been far apart in valuation for weeks. HOU hoped for a deal and gave one final push in last hour but now, Eason will enter restricted free agency next summer.

Jabari Smith’s extension likely put an artificial cap (along with the 2nd apron) on how high the Rockets were willing to go. You’ll hear Eason’s name a lot come trade deadline.

No rookie extension for the Houston Rockets and Tari Eason, sources tell ESPN. Sides could not bridge gaps on multiple fronts by Monday's deadline. Eason will become a restricted free agent next offseason.

Think the Rockets are wise not extending Tari now. Gotta show he can stay healthy over the long haul. 24 is way too young for load management.
