HOU is overloaded with SFs: D.Brooks, A.Thompson, Tate, Whitmore (who some say is the steal of the draft), and Eason. Thin at SG: Jalen Green. I bet they'd be willing to part with Eason for equal value at SG.
What do you think a fair trade would be for Eason?
I think THJ and the 2027 1st for KPJ and Tari Eason is probably fair. I think THJ fits well in Houston as a good shooter, decent defender and high-character veteran presence.
With further thought, I really think this move would make sense for both teams. Eason would immediately improve our defense and rebounding. A forward rotation of Grant Williams, Eason and DJJ is pretty solid. OMax could supplant DJJ eventually.
I don't think the trade is likely though even though it's logical. The Mavericks won't be willing to endure the media criticism that would occur from trading for a violent criminal. Even though you and I understand that we would really just be trading for his contract. The media would still be outraged. It wouldn't be worth the negative attention.
