James Harden Traded To The Brooklyn Nets: Report

BROOKLYN, NY — The Houston Rockets have traded James Harden to the Brooklyn Nets, according to multiple sources, including ESPN.

The superstar guard has been outwardly frustrated with the Rocket's organization over the past several months.

The reported trade comes one day after Harden said during a press conference that Houston wasn't "good enough" to win a championship.

The Nets are giving up quite the haul for Harden.

Brooklyn is sending Houston four first-round draft picks and four draft swaps for the all-star player, according to the Atheltic's Shams Charania.

Allen is heading to Cleveland for a 2024 second-round pick and LeVert was traded to Houston as part of the Harden deal, but was then immediately repackaged to the Pacers for Victor Oladipo, according to Wojnarowski.

Prince will join Allen in Cleveland and Kurucs will be the lone Brooklyn player to end up in Houston, according to ESPN.

The blockbuster deal reunites Harden with his former Oklahoma City Thunder teammate Kevin Durant in Brooklyn. It's a huge move by the Nets that only solidifies their championship aspirations in the coming years.
