Kevin Durant has been traded to the Rockets, and the Lakers are among several teams, including the Hawks, Nets, Warriors, Timberwolves, and Suns, negotiating to expand the deal into a potential record-setting seven-team blockbuster.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Kevin Durant\u00a0has been traded\u00a0to the Houston Rockets, but the blockbuster move might only be the start.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Los Angeles Lakers\u00a0are among the teams working with the Rockets and Phoenix Suns to expand the Durant trade into what could become a league-record seven-team deal, according to\u00a0Fred Katz of The Athletic.<\/p>\n

Along with the Lakers, the other teams involved in negotiations include the Atlanta Hawks, Brooklyn Nets, Golden State Warriors, and Minnesota Timberwolves.<\/p>\n

No trade is imminent yet, as details are still being finalized as of Wednesday night.<\/p>\n

In the scenarios discussed so far, most of the recognizable names are from trades that have already been agreed upon and reported but not yet completed.<\/p>\n

According to The Athletic, the Hawks would send Clint Capela to the Rockets in a sign-and-trade. Durant would go to Houston, while the previously reported return package\u2014Dillon Brooks and Jalen Green\u2014would head to Phoenix.<\/p>\n

Although the Lakers’ specific role has not been fully disclosed, they are actively participating in discussions that could reshape several rosters across the league.<\/p>\n

\n

At this stage, only five players who played in the NBA last season are included in the current framework of the deal: Durant, Brooks, Green, Capela, and Daeqwon Plowden.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The rest of the players being discussed come from draft-night trades that have been agreed to but can\u2019t be finalized until July 6.<\/p>\n

For now, the largest trade in NBA history is the six-team deal that sent Klay Thompson to the Dallas Mavericks last summer, but this Lakers-involved negotiation could set a new record.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
