The NBA world was thrown for a loop Wednesday afternoon when it was announced that a James Harden trade had finally taken place.
The three-time reigning scoring champion and former MVP was dealt from the Houston Rockets in a blockbuster four-team trade that includes the Indiana Pacers and Cleveland Cavaliers.
Houston receives four first-round picks and four pick swaps as the centerpieces in the deal. Meanwhile, Caris LeVert heads to Indiana in exchange for the Rockets receiving All-Star guard Victor Oladipo. Cleveland makes out as bandits, adding stud young center Jarrett Allen for pennies on the dollar (details of the blockbuster here).
