Nets’, Rockets’ Updated Draft Pick List After James Harden Blockbuster Trade

Nets #Nets

The Brooklyn Nets reportedly acquired James Harden in a blockbuster four-team trade Wednesday, but the Houston Rockets are set up well in the draft going forward.

According to Shams Charania of Stadium and The Athletic, the Rockets will receive Victor Oladipo, Dante Exum, Rodions Kurucs, four first-round picks and four pick swaps. The Indiana Pacers land Caris LeVert and a second-round pick, while the Cleveland Cavaliers get Jarrett Allen and Taurean Prince.

Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reported the second-round pick the Pacers will receive will come via the Rockets (2023).

The deal helps shape the landscape of the 2020-21 season with the Nets becoming instant contenders, while Oladipo and LeVert could become impact players on different playoff teams.

It also creates significant movement for the future with a lot of draft capital changing teams.

All of the picks involved are unprotected as well, according to Charania. Though the Nets are expected to contend this year, we have seen unprotected picks turn into early lottery selections in the past.

We might not see the impact of this deal for several years, but it could have lasting effects for both Brooklyn and Houston.

Here is the latest regarding the upcoming draft picks for each team (h/t Bobby Marks of ESPN).
