James Harden trade: Grading all four teams in the blockbuster NBA deal

WOW.

Welp. It finally happened. James Harden is officially a Brooklyn Net.

We all knew this was coming sooner rather than later after Harden’s incendiary press conference from Tuesday night where he called out his teammate’s lack of talent.

But no one knew that the deal would be this bonkers. It took doing a four team deal with a whole bunch of draft picks changing hands and going to Houston for it to happen, but the deal is done, according to The Athletic’s Shams Charania.

The details are wild. The Rockets traded Harden and got back Brooklyn’s entire draft for potentially the next six years.

And all of the picks are unprotected.

Whew. That’s done. You know what’s next: Trade grades. Let’s jump into them.
