Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the NBA. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Rockets fans and fans across the country. Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys.
Tari Eason turned down a big extension this offseason and then went out and had the worst overall season of his career. And with the recent success of the Rockets with Reed Sheppard in the starting lineup, he may have lost his starting job as well. It’s a far road from the $100
million extension the team offered him this past offseason, but those are the risks when you bet on yourself.
That bring us to this week’s question, on whether you expected Eason back with the Rockets next season. He’ll be a restricted free agent in the offseason, so Houston can match any offer he receives, but the team will obviously be weighing their options when the time comes. Do you think he’ll be back?
As you can see, only one-third of Rockets fans expect Eason to be back. I think it’s probably closer to 50-50 right now, but there’s no doubting it’s shrunk from where things were before the season.
Don’t forget, head on over to FanDuel, where you can pick up prop bets, parlays, and NBA Playoff winners. The Rockets have fallen all the way to +7500 to win the NBA Title, an almost 100 percent slip from just a few weeks ago, so if you have the faith they get it together, that’s a $7500 payout from just a $100 bet.
