Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr reacts in the first half against the Houston Rockets in Game 2 of the Western Conference First Round NBA Playoffs.

The Golden State Warriors have agreed to a history-making trade, and it breaks their own record.

The Warriors will come away with Alex Toohey, the No. 52 overall pick of the 2025 draft, in a deal that still has several moving parts and, according to NBA insider Jake Fischer on X on July 3, has still only been “fully agreed to in principle.”

This deal is on hold until July 6. That is when the league’s moratorium on new business ends. Still, here are the presumed details so far based on what has been reported:

Hawks get:

• Nickeil Alexander-Walker (via sign-&-trade w/ MIN)
• 2031 second-round pick (via HOU)
• Cash considerations (via HOU)

Lakers get:

• No. 36 pick (Adou Thiero, via BKN, MIN, & PHO)

Nets get:

• Future second-round picks (x2)

Rockets get:

• Clint Capela
• Dorian Finney-Smith
• Kevin Durant

Suns get:

• Dillon Brooks
• Jalen Green
• No. 10 pick (Khaman Maluach, via HOU)
• No. 31 pick (Rasheer Fleming via MIN)
• No. 41 pick (Koby Brea, via GSW)

Timberwolves get:

• No. 45 pick (Rocco Zikarsky, via CHI & LAL)

Warriors get:

• No. 52 pick (Alex Toohey via PHO)

This trade began long before the Warriors got involved.

Potential Historic Trade Started on Draft Night

The Athletic’s Fred Katz first broke the news that the Rockets and Suns first began exploring ways to expand their trade, which centered around the 2013-14 MVP, Durant.

“No trade is imminent, and details are being ironed out as of Wednesday night,” Katz wrote on July 2. “In a would-be seven-team trade, there is an unprecedented amount of detail. Unfortunately, while a seven-team trade would make for a thrilling topic at a cocktail party, there haven’t been many unexpected developments in these negotiations. At least in the iterations of the deal discussed so far, most of the recognizable names are from trades that have already been agreed to and reported but not yet finalized.”

According to Fischer, the Hawks’ sending Capela to Houston was the final piece, albeit so far.

“To my understanding, this was already a six-team trade as of the second round of the NBA draft,” Fischer said during a live stream on July 3. “This is a league record, and it is kind of a whole puzzle that, I believe, started to be worked through by the cap wizards in the Phoenix Suns’ front office.

“What this really was was a bunch of second-round pick deals getting just hodge-podged and jumbled together, snowballed together in order to help everyone figure out tax ramifications, and avoid apron penalties, and all that stuff.”

The Warriors are very familiar with landmark trade agreements.

Warriors Break Own Record With  7-Team Trade

The Warriors’ six-team trade sending Klay Thompson to the Dallas Mavericks in 2024 is the previous record-holder. That deal also landed Buddy Hield and Kyle Anderson, the latter of whom the Warriors traded to the Miami Heat for Jimmy Butler, in Golden State.

Moreover, this new landmark deal could easily be subject to further expansion to include the Chicago Bulls and Memphis Grizzlies.

The Grizzlies received the No. 59 pick the Warriors got from the Suns in a deal that sent Will Richard (No. 56 overall) to Golden State and Jahmai Mashack, the final pick of the 2025 draft, to Memphis. The Bulls received Lachlan Olbrich in a deal with the Lakers.

However, those deals are not final, potentially leaving them open to join the Warriors’ trade.
