Rockets
Upgrade dead money FVV for one of the biggest winners in the NBA. Jrue is an Elite Playmaker and Defender who can also create, score, shoot, and rebound at a high level. Jrue's Playoff and finals should really move the needle come the postseason.
Since they don't need to extend Eason, they avoid becoming a 2nd apron team.
Thybull is one of the best defenders in the league when healthy. If they can get them there, he's a big asset.
Blazers
Portland discovered they are best when Deni is the main Ball handler. They need more Shooting and defense around him, and that's what Eason brings.
FVV is dead money, but his contract ends before Jrue's,s which makes it possible for them to renegotiate a deal with Avdija in 2027 in accordance with the new CBA.
