Miami Heat Receive: James Harden, Ben McLemore, Chris Clemons, David Mwaba
Houston Rockets Receive: Tyler Herro, Kendrick Nunn, Duncan Robinson, Andre Igoudala, Kelly Olynyk, 2022 1st Round Pick, 2024 1st Round Pick, 2026 1st Round Pick
This is a trade that would completely shake up the NBA. James Harden would head to South Beach to join the Miami Heat. It would come at a great cost, as one might expect when considering Harden is a recent MVP.
The Heat have plenty of young players that broke out last season. Tyler Herro, Kendrick Nunn, and Duncan Robinson would all have to be sent to the Houston Rockets in return. Veterans such as Andre Igoudala and Kelly Olynyk would also be on their way out along with three first-round draft picks.
Let’s take a closer look and see how this blockbuster NBA deal centered around James Harden would impact the Houston Rockets and Miami Heat.
