• Amen Thompson is expected to sign a contract worth more than $250 million this summer.
• The Rockets will be committing well over $200 million to a core group that has not yet made it past the first round of the playoffs together, two years running.
• Thompson is durable, two-way, and by most measurements, he's one of the better guards in basketball.
• But $50 million per year demands more than upside, and right now Thompson is still in the process of proving he can be that guy.
