Roster Compliance

Houston would have 13 standard contract players after the trade and would need to get to 14 to be in roster compliance.

Hard Cap

This trade would result in the Rockets crossing the tax apron of ($178.1M) while hardcapped at the 1st apron. Therefore this trade is not possible. Remove $10.4M of incoming value to remain below the hard cap.

Hard Cap Reasons

Used their bi-annual exception to sign Aaron Holiday.

Financial

Rockets are unable to complete this trade. Since they are now an over apron team after this trade, they are only able to take back 100% of the salary they are sending out, plus $0.

Rockets can only take back $30.5M in salary based on the amount they are sending out.

Cut $18.2M from the Rockets incoming trade value to make this trade successful for the Rockets.

Poison Pill

Jalen Green is on a rookie contract and signed an extension that is to begin the following season. Therefore, he has what is known as a "poison pill" contract. He can no longer be traded for a player making equal money. Instead, his current salary is averaged along with the salaries he is to receive in his extension, and that average becomes his incoming salary for trade purposes. His outgoing value for the Rockets will be $12.4M while his incoming value for the receiving team will be $29.4M.

Must Waive Players

Milwaukee would have 16 standard contract players after the trade and would need to waive 1 player.

LEBRON (Luck-adjusted player Estimate using a Box prior Regularized ON-off) impact data is provided by BBall Index . See how LEBRON is calculated, and explore the data.

New Rockets SL:

Dame
Dillon Brooks
Amen Thompson
Jabari Smith Jr
Sengun

Tari Eason as the sixth man

I like this team a lot with Dame as the main offensive option alongside Sengun. Defensively this team doesn’t get a lot worse and if they need more defense they can just sub Eason in for Jabari. This trade would only happen for the Bucks if Giannis had already left or demanded out.

Dame to the Rockets just makes sense.
