Tari Eason Contract & Salary

Tari Eason is on the books for $14,053,356 in 2026-27, the 5th largest cap hit on the Houston Rockets roster and 7.0% of the team's $200.4M payroll.

That ranks 134th among the 434 players with a 2026-27 salary on the books, and eats 8.5% of the $165.0M salary cap.

The deal has 5 seasons left on it, running through 2030-31, worth $81,449,460 in guaranteed money.

The money climbs as it goes: $14,053,356 in the first year up to $18,550,428 in the last, a 32% rise across the deal.

Not every year is locked in: 2030-31 player option.

The option year belongs to the player, not the team — he decides whether to take the money or return to the market, so the team cannot count on it either way.

At 25, the deal covers his age-25 through age-29 seasons — the prime years teams are usually paying a premium for.

He is the 5th highest-paid of the 14 players on the roster, in the middle of the pay structure.

He is one of 14 players on the Houston Rockets' books for 2026-27, whose 2026-27 salaries add up to $200,413,923.

Houston Rockets sit at $200.4M in payroll and are currently classified Over Cap, with +$8.6M of room below the first apron.
