Kevin Durant was traded to the Houston Rockets two weeks ago in what was called a "blockbuster." In exchange for Durant, the Rockets are sending Jalen Green, Dillon Brooks and the No. 10 pick in the 2025 draft which ended up being Duke big man Khaman Maluach to Phoenix.
The deal seemed pretty straightfoward at the time, but now the teams are working to involve as many as five other teams to turn it into what would be one of the biggest trades in NBA history. And they're apparently trying to accomplish this with a number of completely unrelated deals that have already been announced.
