The Houston Rockets are in a difficult spot with Tari Eason. They're in trouble if they keep him but they don't want to lose him either.
It's a consequence of acquiring so many talented players in such a short time. The salary cap doesn't allow you to keep everyone. The Rockets are feeling the squeeze. The 2025-26 season is nearly underway, and Eason is without a deal".
That doesn't mean the team doesn't value him.
"I think the Rockets love Tari Eason."
