Nets, Rockets complete trade for future draft picks

While the trade sending Mikal Bridges to the Knicks for picks is reported but not official yet, this one is: the Nets and Rockets have finalized a deal where Brooklyn got two of their own picks from the James Harden deal back and sent out some from the Kevin Durant trade.

The official explanation from the Nets’ release:

The Brooklyn Nets have acquired their 2025 first round draft pick, negating a previously agreed to swap, and their first round pick in 2026, from the Houston Rockets in exchange for a 2025 first round pick swap (Houston/Oklahoma City for Phoenix), the Phoenix Suns' 2027 first round pick and a the rights to the two most favorable of the Dallas, Phoenix and Houston first round picks in 2029. Brooklyn retains the least favorable of Dallas, Houston and Phoenix's first round draft picks in 2029.

There’s surely more to come as the NBA Draft approaches Wednesday night, so stick with WFAN and WFAN.com as news breaks.
