The Brooklyn Nets receive James Harden and a 2024 second round pick. The Cleveland Cavaliers receive Jarrett Allen, Aleksander Vezenkov, and Taurean Prince. The Houston Rockets acquire Caris LaVert, Dante Exum, and Rodions Kurucs, along with the right to four pick swaps with the Nets and three additional first round selections from the Nets.

sincerely doubt he will be traded before the start of the NBA season next Tuesday, however I fully believe that Harden will be sporting different jersey colors (lest he go to the Chicago Bulls for some insane reason) by the end of this season.

NBA free agency is a time of chaos, teams going from contenders to mid playoff purgatory, utter crap to hopeful, and from “We think we can” to “We know we can.”
