[Asia News Communication = Reporter Reakkana] The Houston Rockets are moving on from franchise superstar James Harden. They have traded the 31-year-old to the Brooklyn Nets as part of a three-team deal, the Nets announced on Thursday.
In return for Harden, Houston is acquiring Caris LeVert and Rodions Kurucs from the Nets, Dante Exum from the Cleveland Cavaliers, three first-round picks from the Nets, one first-round pick from the Cavaliers via the Milwaukee Bucks, and four first-round pick swaps from the Nets.
In a separate deal, Houston is trading LeVert and a second-round pick to the Indiana Pacers for guard and two-time All-Star Victor Oladipo, according to The Athletic's Shams Charania.
Harden, an eight-time All-Star, was acquired by the Rockets from the Oklahoma City Thunder in 2012. While in Houston, he was voted the league's best player for the 2017-18 season and led the Rockets to the playoffs in all eight years.
