Rockets Weigh Max Deal for Amen Thompson
Description
The Houston Rockets face a huge decision on Amen Thompson’s future: offer him a max contract worth $251 million over five years? His elite defense—All-Defense First Team caliber, locking down top scorers nightly—is undeniable, but his offensive game, especially his brutal 21% three-point shooting, raises red flags. At just 23, he’s got time to improve, but the Rockets’ already bloated payroll could limit roster flexibility. Despite financial concerns, management loves his potential and likely plans to offer him the max, hoping his defense and growth justify the massive investment.
