Blazers buy low on Jalen Green/Rockets make win now move while keeping future assets


In addition to adding Jalen Green to their young core, Portland also gets a high 2RP (currently #37) and a cost-controlled rotation piece that can either fit seamlessly into a role player spot or who they can flip for more assets. Even if Jalen isn't an exact positional need at the moment, you are buying him on the low side of his valuation and Portland is in talent acquisition mode right now. Oladipo and Landale are just expirings added to make the salaries work (Landale NG contract after this season)

Scoot/Jalen Green

Simons/Sharpe

Thybulle/Camara

Grant/Tate/Walker

Ayton/Reath

Due to hitting on 5 other first rounders the past 3 years and the bevy of quality BKN picks coming in the pipe, HOU can afford trade Jalen Green for win now pieces. Brogdon and Bob fit both of HOU's immediate winning needs while not handicapping their future cap space or asset cabinet. Also allows the 2024 BKN pick to potentially have room in the Rockets rotation as well.

Brogdon/Holiday

Brooks/Whitmore

Jabari/Tari

Sengun/Jeff Green (Bob Williams for '24-'25)
