In the proposed trade, the Trail Blazers would send three players totaling $22.3 million in salary and two draft picks, with a cap impact of -$4.6 million. They would be trading Dillon Brooks, a 6' 6" small forward known for his stationary shooting, under a $22.2 million contract for 3 years, to receive Tari Eason, a 6' 8" power forward with a $3.6 million contract for 2 years and Cam Whitmore, a 6' 7" small forward with a $3.3 million contract for 3 years. Additionally, the Trail Blazers would receive a 2025 Round 1 draft pick via Oklahoma City or Phoenix and a 2027 Round 1 draft pick via Phoenix. The trade would result in a projected increase of 1 win, an additional 38.90 minutes per game, a decrease of 0.49 in offensive rating, and a decrease of 0.53 in defensive rating for the Trail Blazers.
As for Tari Eason, he currently has a team option with the Rockets, giving them the choice to decline the option and make him an unrestricted free agent. The default option is set to be accepted, but the contract can be updated to perform actions such as a Sign & Trade.
