The Kevin Durant trade to Houston was agreed to two weeks ago — hours before Game 7 of the NBA Finals, just to cast a shadow over that event — and since then has kept growing and growing. As other trades were agreed to, it became fiscally responsible to combine them into one big trade.

On Sunday, the Durant trade became official, approved by the league as a historic seven-team trade, a development that has been anticipated for a while and is was first confirmed by Fred Katz of The Athletic (since his post the trade became official). This is the first seven-team trade in NBA history. Outside of the big names, a lot of what is happening is draft picks getting moved around.

League sources say the trade will send:

• Kevin Durant, Clint Capela to Houston
• Jalen Green, Dillon Brooks, Daeqwon Plowden to Phoenix
• David Roddy to Atlanta

All other elements of the deal are pick trades from draft night that are yet to be finalized.

The trade fully shakes out this way:

• Houston receives: Kevin Durant, Clint Capela
• Phoenix receives: Jalen Green, Dillon Brooks, rights to Khaman Maluach (No. 10 draft pick), Rasheer Fleming, Koby Brea, Daeqwon Plowden, one second-round pick
• Golden State receives: Alex Toohey, Jahmai Mashack
• Los Angeles Lakers receive: Adou Thiero
• Brooklyn receives: two second-round picks
• Atlanta receives: David Roddy, a second-round pick, cash
• Minnesota receives: Rocco Zikarsky, two second-round picks, cash

The Durant trade could not be approved until the NBA’s new fiscal year (July 1) and the end of the trade and free agency moratorium, which runs until July 6. On Sunday, a flood of already agreed-upon trades and signings will be officially announced.

Including a historically large Kevin Durant trade.
