That's the market for starting players now. Every team gotta hit on their picks now, there's no room to take projects if you want cheap long term contributors

I guess it really depends on how good they think Suggs will get and whether they think his shooting this past season is sustainable

He basically got the same contract Derrick White got with an extra 5th year. There’s some real risk here I think

Rafael Stone is quickly becoming one of the best GMs in the league. That’s a win win deal
Idk about win-win

Green is taking a short because they weren’t offering him his max or close to it..look like he wanna prove himself to get his real bag but with Whitmore,Amen and now Reed there I can see him getting squeezed out .

Amen and Reed seem to be Ime type of guys ..we heard for a minute that Green isn’t .

That’s kinda high for Biracial Caruso :patrice:
I was thinking the same thing. I thought dude was tripping when the report said he wants $30 million a year. But I'm looking at his accolades and you got 2nd team all defense and shooting 39% from three. I'm like Suggs might actually get it. But Suggs held all the cards. I mean you don't have another starting pg. You left Fultz walk out the door. If I'm Josh Giddy's agent, I'm in his ear.

Personally, I’m always a fan of shorter term deals if you’re a young player and relatively healthy. Let’s you reset and reup quicker. Obviously he
wanted the whole max extension but I think this is a good alternative. If he turns up, the max he’ll be up for in 3 years if he opts out will be crazy. Goes without saying why this is a good deal for Houston.
