Rockets Secure Future with Sengun and Green Extensions

Houston Rockets prioritize stability by signing Alperen Sengun and Jalen Green to substantial contract extensions, impacting their financial flexibility for future seasons.

The Rockets signed Alperen Sengun to a five-year, $185 million extension and Jalen Green to a three-year, $106 million deal.
These extensions limit Houston's cap space for the next offseason, reducing potential for a major free-agent acquisition.
Sengun's contract is nearly $40 million less than a potential max deal he could have received next summer.
Green's deal includes a player option, offering him flexibility to opt out for a bigger contract after two years.
The Rockets' strategy suggests a focus on building through trades rather than free agency, given their long-term financial commitments.
