Steven Adams, Rockets Agree To Three-Year, $39M Extension

[RealGM Wiretap]

Steven Adams and the Houston Rockets have agreed to a three-year, $39 million contract extension. Adams became a key part of the Rockets finishing second in the Western Conference during the regular season and proved he could play alongside Alperen Sengun in their double-big lineup.

The Rockets acquired Adams from the Memphis Grizzlies during the 2023-24 season when he was out injured.

Woah... love Adams, but that's pretty steep for a player that averaged <14 MPG last season!

I guess the center position is regaining some of the importance it lost over the last decade. Five years ago centers were a dime a dozen.

Adams should buy Matsubara a Mitsubishi for getting him that deal.

There are a ton of centers available in this draft. I think this is a fair deal for both sides.

The centers in this draft won't be ready until this deal is over.
