Hello Brooklyn: Houston Rockets Trade James Harden to the Brooklyn Nets

The Brooklyn Nets have traded former NBA MVP James Harden to the Brooklyn Nets in a three team blockbuster deal.

On Tuesday night following the Houston Rockets loss to the Los Angeles Lakers, Harden made it clear that his relationship with the Rockets had come to an end.

The details of the deal include:

According to ESPN,

The Nets sent Houston a package that includes multiple players and draft picks and features guard Caris LeVert, who was then traded to the Pacers for Victor Oladipo.

Center Jarrett Allen and forward Taurean Prince are headed from the Nets to the Cavs in the deal, according to sources, while the Rockets receive Cleveland guard Dante Exum and Brooklyn forward Rodions Kurucs

Houston also receives Brooklyn’s three unprotected first-round draft picks — 2022, 2024 and 2026 — in the deal, plus pick swaps in 2021, 2023, 2025 and 2027, according to sources. The Rockets also get Cleveland’s 2022 first-round pick, via the Milwaukee Bucks.

The megadeal reunites Harden with former Oklahoma City teammate Kevin Durant in Brooklyn and positions the Nets, who also have All-Star guard Kyrie Irving, as a title contender in the Eastern Conference.
