Amen Thompson, a standout player for the Houston Rockets, is seeking a contract extension, but the team is hesitant to offer the full max deal. Despite his impressive career-high stats, the Rockets are weighing the value of his game, particularly his shooting and half-court play. Theyre also considering the impact of a potential sub-max deal, like Alperen Senguns, on their salary cap flexibility. The Rockets must decide soon, as Thompson could become a restricted free agent in 2027 if no deal is reached before the 2026-2027 season.
