Over a week ago, the Phoenix Suns agreed to trade future Hall of Fame forward Kevin Durant to the Houston Rockets for guard Jalen Green, forward Dillon Brooks, the No. 10 pick in this year's NBA draft (Khaman Maluach) and five second-round picks. However, the trade hasn't been finalized yet.
There are apparently some details left to be worked out. In fact, according to The Athletic, the Rockets and Suns are looking to expand the trade to involve a total of seven teams, and the Los Angeles Lakers are one of the teams they're looking to involve.
"League sources tell The Athletic that the Rockets and Suns are working on expanding the Kevin Durant trade into a deal that would involve a league-record seven teams," wrote Fred Katz. "Other teams involved in negotiations at the moment include the Atlanta Hawks, Brooklyn Nets, Golden State Warriors, Los Angeles Lakers and Minnesota Timberwolves, league sources say.
"No trade is imminent, and details are being ironed out as of Wednesday night."
If this trade goes down as Katz described it, it would set an NBA record for the most teams participating in one deal. Currently, the deal involving the most teams in league history took place last summer, when six teams participated in a trade that shipped Klay Thompson to the Dallas Mavericks.
