After the trade deadline, the team cannot trade Kelly Oubre Jr. since his contract is ending.

This trade would result in the Rockets crossing the tax apron of ($138.9M) while hardcapped. Therefore this trade is not possible. Remove $968K of incoming value to remain below the hard cap.

Hard Cap Reasons

Acquired Christian Wood from the Pistons via sign-and-trade.

Rockets are unable to complete this trade. Since they are now a taxpaying team after this trade, they are only able to take back 125% of the salary they are sending out, plus $100,000.

Rockets can only take back $16.3M in salary based on the amount they are sending out.

Cut $6.7M from the Rockets incoming trade value to make this trade successful for the Rockets.
