The NBA Finals are upon us and for the fourth-straight year the Warriors are matched up against LeBron and the Cavaliers. Charlie doesn't expect the Cavs to pull off the upset, but when you have LeBron James, there's always a chance.
Houston should definitely be looking to bring back Chris Paul this offseason, but not if it requires paying him a full-length max contract. A 5-year deal for a 33-year-old player is not something the Rockets should commit to, if they're smart. And we all know Daryl Morey is smart.
Jalen Green and Alperen Sengun both agreed to contract extensions with the Houston Rockets, a person with knowledge of the details said Monday.
Green, agreed to a three-year, $106 million extension. Sengun, agreed to five-year, $185 million extension.
Did GM Rafael Stone negotiate good deals from a team perspective?
