The Golden State Warriors will be involved in a historic seven-team trade involving two-time NBA champion Kevin Durant in early July.
According to the Stein Line’s Jack Fischer, the deal has been agreed upon by all parties (Warriors, Los Angeles Lakers, Houston Rockets, Atlanta Hawks, Brooklyn Nets, Minnesota Timberwolves, and Phoenix Suns) as of July 3.

“While we sift through the Jonas Valanciunas developments in Denver (Nuggets), the NBA-record seven-team trade that will send Kevin Durant to Houston has been fully agreed to in principle,” Fischer reported on X/Twitter Thursday.
While the deal won’t land Golden State any game-changing assets (Alex Toohey and Jahmal Mashack), it’s still worth noting that the Dubs will be a part of a deal like none other.
The Athletic’s Fred Katz broke the news regarding the potential trade on Wednesday, noting that the public shouldn’t expect any new surprises.
“In a would-be seven-team trade, there is an unprecedented amount of detail,” Katz stated. “Unfortunately, while a seven-team trade would make for a thrilling topic at a cocktail party, there haven’t been many unexpected developments in these negotiations.”

Last summer, the Warriors sent franchise legend Klay Thompson to the Dallas Mavericks in a massive six-team trade, making them no strangers to completing deals involving multiple parties.
If Fisher’s report holds merit, Golden State will break its previous record and join an exclusive club in the next couple of days.
