Miami Heat Receive: James Harden, Ben McLemore, Danuel House Jr., Jae’Sean Tate
Houston Rockets Receive: Tyler Herro, Kendrick Nunn, Duncan Robinson, Andre Iguodala, Kelly Olynyk, 2025 1st Round Pick, 2027 1st Round Pick
James Harden going to the Miami Heat would not be cheap. The Miami Heat would be able to form a big three with Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo but would have to give up many other players. Tyler Herro, Kendrick Nunn, and Duncan Robinson are young players that would be sent to the Houston Rockets.
Miami would get back Ben McLemore and Danuel House Jr. to add some more depth coming off the bench. This trade is all about how the Heat feels their lineup right now compared to the other top teams in the NBA.
Let’s take a closer look and see how this deal would benefit both teams during the 2020-21 NBA season.
