Yeah. A lot of what he did this season was due to playing with Harden and finding a good situation. I don’t think he’s really banking on another opportunity to start and average double figures for a solid playoff team. But what he’s being offered is pretty paltry in NBA terms. The Rockets last offer was 3 years at the minimum. Note that House is fine with and wants to play the rest of the year on the minimum, so the Rockets obviously think he could play his way into some better offers as well. Honestly, I think that same deal will probably be there for him from the Rockets or someone else this offseason (though of course the Rockets will match since he’s restricted) based on what he showed in his brief time starting. There’s also a decent chance he could get something like 3 years in the neighborhood of $9 million to $15 million after the season. Since a 3 year contract would eat up 3 years of his prime and he wouldn’t be an FA again until he’s 28, it’s hard to hold it against him trying to get a better deal to set his family up for the rest of his life.

3 years 11 mil to stay with the Rockets. I was pretty on the money here.

Nice bargain in today’s game for a decent rotation piece.

House was always more about potential. I can count several times in my mind how I would see him thunder through the lane for an NBA style highlight, only to watch him fade into the brush for the next thirty minutes.

Well, while I agree with you, in his defense, he played for James Dickey !

[TJCoog]

I agree. He was really bad in the playoffs, but based on what he showed as a starter during the regular season and the potential to get better that’s a very palatable deal, especially comparing it to deals like 3/58 for Rozier or 2/25 for Ariza, who seems close to washed at this point.

Damn… Ariza has been getting real money ever since he left Houston.
