Boston Celtics Receive: James Harden, PJ Tucker, Ben McLemore
Houston Rockets Receive: Jaylen Brown, Carsen Edwards, Romeo Langford, Grant Williams, 2021 1st Round Pick, 2023 1st Round Pick, 2025 1st Round Pick
No matter where James Harden ends up, he will most likely be playing for a contender. Both the Philadelphia 76ers and Brooklyn Nets would team up hard in with elite stars and the Boston Celtics would be no different. As expected, the return would not be cheap.
The Houston Rockets would receive a star in Jaylen Brown as the centerpiece of the trade package. He has shown intriguing potential with the Celtics and could be a helpful piece for the Rockets to build-around— pairing him with Christian Wood long-term.
Let’s take a closer look and see how this deal would benefit each team in the upcoming season.
