Ranking the five teams involved in the James Harden trade saga

So here we are, just about 16 months removed from the four-team blockbuster trade that sent James Harden to the Brooklyn Nets.

Sources: Full current trade:

Rockets: Victor Oladipo, Dante Exum, Rodions Kurucs, 3 BKN first-rounders (22, 24, 26), 1 MIL first (22, unprotected), 4 BKN 1st round swaps (21, 23, 25, 27)

Nets: James Harden

Pacers: Caris LeVert, 2nd-rounder

Cavs: Jarrett Allen, Taurean Prince— Shams Charania (@ShamsCharania) January 13, 2021

What’s surprising about this deal is that nearly every tangible piece involved is no longer a part of the team they were shipped to.
