Milwaukee Bucks Receive: James Harden
Houston Rockets Receive: Khris Middleton, Donte DiVincenzo, DJ Wilson, 2021 1st Round Pick (via MIL), 2023 1st Round Pick (via MIL), 2025 2nd Round Pick (via IND)
James Harden to the Milwaukee Bucks would add an elite star in the NBA to a team that has been at the top of the Eastern Conference over the last two years. This would create a dynamic duo with Harden and Giannis. The Bucks would have to give up a ton to get Harden.
The return would be centered around three first-round draft picks. This would jumpstart the Bucks just in case Giannis decides to leave in free agency. The Rockets would also receive Khris Middleton, who is an all-star caliber player. Donte DiVincenzo and DJ Wilson would also go to Houston in this deal as rotation players.
Let’s take a closer look and see how this deal would work for both the Milwaukee Bucks and Brooklyn Nets.
