The Kevin Durant trade to Houston was agreed to two weeks ago — hours before Game 7 of the NBA Finals, just to cast a shadow over that event — and since then has kept growing and growing. As other trades were agreed to, it became fiscally responsible to combine them into one big trade.
On Sunday, the Durant trade will be approved by the league as a seven-team trade, a development that has been anticipated for a while and is now confirmed by Fred Katz of The Athletic. Most of what is happening is draft picks getting moved around.
League sources say the trade will send:
• Kevin Durant, Clint Capela to Houston
• Jalen Green, Dillon Brooks, Daeqwon Plowden to Phoenix
• David Roddy to AtlantaAll other elements of the deal are pick trades from draft night that are yet to be finalized.
