Unfortunately they don't have enough unwanted contracts to match salary. Eason would be cool tho

Tor_Raps wrote:So we've been talking "toxic contract" a lot as a potential path to stockpile assets while adding a player who we feel can be beneficial to us. There have been a lot of talks of Houston potentially wanting to get off Dillon Brooks' contract.
Houston has A LOT of assets that could help our rebuild while Brooks can actually provide value to the starting lineup. Now Brooks is a level below Wiggins/Hunter (other guys we've been mentioning) but if Houston is able to add a much better asset than the other teams, going down this path might be the better scenario for us.
So what additional asset would you NEED from Houston to take on Brooks' contract?

I’d need something from Houston to account for term. Tari Eason is legit, but so is JaeSean Tate, who would come cheaper and would be cool with a bench role. However, I’d try and get Jalen Green with Dillon for Boucher/Brown/Future 1st. No idea whether that makes sense for them value wise
Not a chance in hell you get Green for that
HOU only floats his name as bait for who they think might be a star. I don't think they even consider using him to just get average vets and/or future assets that are likely not another high lotto pick. If they were to take that deal they'd probably ask that either we include another non-24' first (unprotected or very lightly protected) or add Gradey, I don't even want to open up the debate of if we should do it (but if it's Gradey I would lol).
Although really I think this is a non conversation because I just don't believe that they're using JG for anything else than star trade bait.
It's either they look to get off Brooks' contract (because they have to start paying their young guys ie/ Green) & attach Eason OR....if they're just that thirsty to make a Playoffs, then its (I'm not sure if they have control over their) 2025' FRP (with probably top 10 protection) + Tate + Jeff Green. But teams aren't going to give us a young player who may (or not be) a future star. You can debate all you want if you think Jalen can or can't be, given his last month of the season I think it's obvious he can be some level of star, maybe not superstar but still a well known player. We're far more likely to get a young player like a Moody, Griffin or Eason, that have more potential than Brown but they don't have space in their rotation and their teams are more concerned with winning now...I'd also throw SAC in there with one of Harrison or Huerter plus 24' pick swap which again would likely net a young player with more potential than Brown but not where a team thinks they're risking trading any level of star.
Cheers for the info. I would be good with Tari Eason/JaeSean Tate/Uncle Jeff as the return for Brown. Would that be something they’d do?

0% chance we could get those guys for Brown. Eason is probably worth a lotto pick in this draft and Tate might be worth a decent 2nd. The Knicks offered us a late 1st for Brown. We traded a late 1st for Agbaji. Eason is way better than Agbaji. I doubt HOU would trade Eason for Brown + 19.
