In order to get Harden, the Nets are sending four first-round picks and four draft swaps to the Rockets, The Athletic’s Shams Charania is reporting.
The four-team blockbuster deal reportedly also includes the Indiana Pacers and Cleveland Cavs. Caris LeVert will wind up in Indiana as the Pacers ship Victor Oladipo to the Rockets as part of Wednesday’s wheeling and dealing. The Cavs end up with Jarrett Allen and Taurean Prince.
The reports come on the same day that the Rockets announced they were keeping the unhappy Harden away from the franchise amid reports that trade talks were heating up.
