Chicago Bulls Receive: James Harden, Eric Gordon, Ben McLemore

Houston Rockets Receive: Zach LaVine, Otto Porter Jr., Coby White, 2021 1st Round Pick, 2023 1st Round Pick, 2025 1st Round Pick

In this particular trade scenario, the Chicago Bulls would take on $58.1M in total salary. The primary source of this is James Harden ($41.2M) while Eric Gordon ($16.8M) also accounts for a large chunk of it. Meanwhile, Ben McLemore is set to earn just $2.2M.

The Houston Rockets would take on the $28.4M expiring deal of Otto Porter Jr. Additionally, they would have Zach LaVine at $19.5M while Coby White remains very much on his NBA rookie-scale contract.

Let’s take a look at how this trade proposal centered around James Harden would impact both the Chicago Bulls and Houston Rockets.
