NBA: Harden Moves To Brooklyn Nets in 4-Team Megadeal

The Rockets have sent James Harden to the Brooklyn Nets in a blockbuster four-team trade that also involves the Pacers and Cavaliers, completing the unhappy star's exit from Houston and setting up a potential superteam as he reunites with Kevin Durant.

Harden and Durant, who have combined to win seven of the past 11 NBA scoring titles entering this season, become the fifth pair of teammates in NBA history to play on the same team after winning multiple scoring titles.

Center Jarrett Allen and forward Taurean Prince are headed from the Nets to the Cavs in the deal, while the Rockets receive Cleveland guard Dante Exum and Brooklyn forward Rodions Kurucs as reported by ESPN.

The deal also involves Houston receives Brooklyn's three unprotected first-round draft picks in the deal -- in 2022, 2024 and 2026 -- plus pick swaps in 2021, 2023, 2025 and 2027.

The Rockets also get Cleveland's 2022 first-round pick, via the Milwaukee Bucks, and Houston is sending a 2023 second-round pick to the Pacers.

Brooklyn also gets a 2024 second-round pick from the Cavaliers. The Nets have three open roster spots to fill out their bench, if they choose -- a $5.7 million tax mid-level, the minimum exception and likely a $5.7 million disabled player exception.

The trade was agreed to after the Rockets opted to keep Harden away from Wednesday's practice, following the former MVP's comments Tuesday that Houston isn't "good enough" to compete for a championship.

The Nets are scheduled to visit the Rockets on March 3 (7:30 p.m. ET, ESPN) -- the last game of the first half of their schedules.
