It’s more likely they know what they have in Eason. If the rotation there looks something like Sengun, Jabari, Brooks, Jalen Green, FVV. Landale, Eason, Tate, Cam, Amen off the bench. They have some seriously talented young guys. If it’s Holmes for KPJ and Eason we need to send an asset. Not even sure if the trade is legal anyway. If it’s THJ in place of Holmes I think they still want something back. Maybe a lottery protected pick? I value Eason as a mid to late lotto pick. I agree with those who think he has All-NBA defense potential. He would look sick next to Josh Green, Omax and Lively. That said, maybe we think we have our own Eason-in-Waiting in Omax and the FO would see him as redundant.
Great points, and I agree. IMO, Eason is on the projection to become OG.
The problem is at SF/PF, Eason is buried behind Brooks, JSJ, and Thompson. Then he's fighting with Tate and Whitmore. HOU is rich in SF.
They want KPJ gone and rumor is they'll give draft capital. Well, I think Eason could be that capital. Again, for HOU this rids them of KPJ and saves them $35.3m.
