The state can only be regarded as satisfactory! Have the contract renewal negotiations affected the performance of the Rockets new star?

In a previous NBA preseason game, the Houston Rockets defeated the Utah Jazz 140-127 at home. After this game, the Rockets achieved two consecutive wins in the preseason and currently have a record of 2 wins and 0 losses, while the Jazz encountered a bad start in the preseason and currently have a record of 0 wins and 1 loss.

In this game, the performance of the Rockets' substitute forward star Tari Eason was quite satisfactory and he did not fully demonstrate his strength. Ethan played for 18 minutes and 56 seconds, shooting 2 of 7, 1 of 4 from beyond the three-point line, and 3 of 4 free throws. He scored 8 points, 3 rebounds, and 3 assists. He also had 1 turnover and 1 foul, with a plus-minus of +1. Ethan's performance on the offensive end can only be regarded as so-so. His offensive efficiency is relatively average, his scoring ability has not been fully utilized, and his performance in outside shooting is also not ideal. Ethan has indeed played a certain role in passing and organizing, but he still seems to be somewhat mediocre on the offensive end. Of course, Ethan's performance on the defensive end is quite outstanding, and he can also play a very good role on the defensive end.

In the NBA regular season last season, Ethan was affected by injuries in 82 games and played a total of 57 times, averaging 24.9 minutes per game. He scored 12 points, 6.4 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 1.7 steals, 0.9 blocks, 1.1 turnovers and 2.4 fouls. He shot 48.7% from the field, 34.2% from the three-point range, and 76% from the free throw line. In the playoffs, Ethan played a total of 7 times, averaging 18.9 minutes per game. He averaged 7.6 points, 4.3 rebounds, 0.7 assists, 1.1 steals and 1 block per game. He also had 1.4 turnovers and 1.9 fouls. He shot 47.7% from the field, 36.8% from the three-point range, and 50% from the free throw line. In the team's previous victory over the Atlanta Hawks, Ethan made 5 of 8 shots and 0 of 1 from beyond the three-point line in 10 minutes and 43 seconds of playing time. He scored 10 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists with good efficiency. He also had 1 turnover and a plus-minus of +1.

In fact, in these two preseason games, Ethan's performance is actually relatively stable. He can play a very good role on the defensive end. His performance on the offensive end is not stable but he can also create some threats. However, his playing time and his tactical status on the court in these two games are actually not high, which also makes it impossible for us to further observe his status and performance. We are now at a critical point in Ethan's contract renewal negotiations with the Rockets, which may also affect his playing time to a certain extent. I don’t know how the situation will develop in the end. Can Ethan complete contract renewal negotiations with the team as soon as possible?
