Kevin Durant’s move to the Houston Rockets is official, and the details of the trade are much bigger than a one-for-one swap with the Phoenix Suns — in fact, it’s the largest trade in NBA history with seven teams, including the Los Angeles Lakers and Golden State Warriors.
The record for the largest trade in NBA history was previously six teams, set in 2024 in the deal that sent Klay Thompson to the Dallas Mavericks.
Here’s a breakdown of the teams involved and what each team got as part of the deal:
Which teams are involved?
The Houston Rockets, Phoenix Suns, Los Angeles Lakers, Golden State Warriors, Atlanta Hawks, Brookyln Nets and Minnesota Timbewrolves are all the part of the deal.
