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

Phoenix would have 17 standard contract players after the trade and would need to waive 2 players.

Financial

Jeff Green's Sign-And-Trade contract must be of either 3 or 4 years in length (not including any option years).

Financial

Suns are unable to complete this trade. Incoming player salary ($18.5M) is matched using multiple outgoing players. Since they are an over second apron team, they are not able to aggregate players in a trade. This means for example, that they cannot send out two players to acquire one with a similar salary to both.
