Amen Thompson's $208M Future | Houston Rockets News

Houston just handed Amen Thompson a five-year, $208 million rookie extension — the biggest deal in franchise history — locking him down as their untouchable future.

Enter Chip Engelland, the “Shot Doctor,” tasked with transforming Thompson’s shooting. With this early move signaling Houston’s urgency, Thompson now faces the challenge of proving he’s worth every dollar — and every year — of that massive contract.
