Detroit Pistons Receive: Russell Westbrook ($41.3M 2020-21 Salary), 2022 1st Round Pick Swap (Less Favorable)

Houston Rockets Receive: Blake Griffin ($36.5M), Derrick Rose ($7.6M), 2022 1st Round Pick Swap (More Favorable), 2025 1st Round Pick (Top 10 Protected), 2027 1st Round Pick (Top 10 Protected)

As it stands at this moment, this is the only trade the Detroit Pistons could offer the Houston Rockets in exchange for Russell Westbrook because of how hefty Westbrook’s contract is, as well as the fact that the Pistons cannot trade any recently signed players at this time.

Due to contract restrictions and trade restrictions, players that recently signed a contract as a free agent are ineligible to be traded for three months following the date the contract was signed on.

Let’s take a look at how this trade would benefit both the Detroit Pistons and Houston Rockets respectively.
