The Rockets will acquire four first round picks and four pick swaps. Brooklyn will send out Caris LeVert, Jarrett Allen and Taurean Prince as part of the package.

The Cleveland Cavaliers will acquire Allen and Prince while sending a 2022 first round pick from the Milwaukee Bucks, Rodions Kurucs and Dante Exum to the Rockets.

The Philadelphia 76ers had been considered the favorite to acquire Harden due to the possibility of Ben Simmons being included in a trade package.

The Indiana Pacers have agreed to trade Victor Oladipo to the Houston Rockets in a package centered on Caris LeVert and a second rounder.
