With the two young, high-potential players' contracts soon coming to an end, it's time to extend the two.
The time will soon come for the Houston Rockets to extend both Jalen Green and Alperen Sengun -- both first-round picks in the 2021 NBA Draft. The two are key young players as the team launched a rebuild in the post-James Harden era.
Players like Cade Cunningham and Scottie Barnes have already secured their long-term, maximum contract extensions. The Athletic's Kelly Iko reports that Green and Segun are unlikely to receive rookie maximum extensions, which could shake things up in Houston for the future. Evidently, breaking up the young core feels inevitable as the Rockets continue to be impatient and look to different avenues to build a contender as quickly as possible. Departing from one of the two will likely be the route to go for Houston to quickly acquire a star talent.
