Stepien

Consecutive draft years 2025 & 2026 would be missing a 1st round pick. The pick for 2025 may be traded away on draft day after the team officially makes their selection.

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 $15.7M 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. Incoming player salary ($49.2M) is matched using multiple outgoing players. Since they are now an over second apron team after this trade, 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.

Financial

Rockets are unable to complete this trade. Since they are now an over second 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 $22.2M in salary based on the amount they are sending out.

Cut $26.9M 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

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