Jalen Green has finally signed a long-awaited extension with the Rockets. But was it worth it for Houston?
On Monday, guard Jalen Green and the Houston Rockets agreed to a long-awaited contract extension that will keep his talents with the franchise for three more years. For a measly $106 million, that is.
News of the deal is likely music to fan’s ears, who don’t have to trounce into the season knowing if it will retain its longterm starter. But how did the organization fare in negotiations? Did it land a good player on cost? Or is it now crippled with a looming contract? In order for Green to truly be worth it, he’ll likely need to recapture at least some of his scorching March slate from last season, where he averaged 27.7 points on near-50% shooting overall, adding an above average 6.3 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 1.2 steals in the process. Most of his NBA awkwardness can be attributed to shot-selection and decision-making, both of which have improved over the years, but not to the point of being the No. 1 scoring option.
