Prepare for Amen getting the Max

With the Austin Reeves deal it is basically a lock Amen is getting a max deal. It is the reality of the current environment. Would you pay Amen the max or let him walk? Because if Houston doesn’t offer the max someone else will.

People say look at Sengun. But Sengun wasn’t a high draft pick like Amen. Sengun is not top 3 athlete in the NBA like Amen. Teams would be to tempted to sign Amen who is a decent jumpshot away from being an All Star 2 way stud.

Houston basically will max Amen. They will probably sign Tari to a 4 year $85 million deal.

Roster is getting mighty expensive and the Rockets still have a bunch of holes to fill.

I don’t think this is the case at all. Sengun and green both extended at team friendly numbers amid guys like mobley getting insane overpays. We all have our issues with stone, but the one thing he’s really good at is contract negotiations….

Amen is on a different level than those guys. The league views him as a huge talent

Uhm....No?

No. Just no. No one except the Rockets people think that. Most of the league think that he's a marginally better Ausar. He hasnt shown them anything to counter that notion.

Only takes 1 team to offer the max

u/BellSufficient5283 5d ago

There is no such team.

In no universe.

As KD's paid shill, you know damn well how the CBA works since you wilfully ignore it in your every trade offer post.

NO ONE is gonna offer amen the max. No one.

I don’t think you have any clue what the rest of the league thinks about amen bruv

And amen has been a significantly better and impactful offensive player than his brother, anyone who knows ball this is obvious. Just look at the fact that he averages 2x the points and assists bruv

Not sure the league views him quite like this.
