I don't see what extension he could reasonably get in this market. He's locked up on a non-guaranteed deal till next year. HOU could say tough luck, have fun trying to get a big contract at 36 next year.
HOU is at a crossroads. Either they blow it up, in which case they'd quickly trade Tucker sans extension, or they keep the band together for another year and see what happens.
Given that they lost the perfect coach for their system and got rid of the progenitor of said system in the same offseason, and the speculation that Firetta is going broke, I think HOU is teetering on rebuilding.
