Lay it out for us.

What do we know about how this happened and how we got to this point?

First, guys, I am thrilled to be on this show.

You guys know how much I love watching you guys.

But listen, this is this is a massive deal all around.

Uh, listen for the Brooklyn Nets to go out and get James Harden.

You know, this was something that Kevin Durant very much wanted.

He and Harden started talking about this months ago and listen with the uncertainty surrounding Kyrie Irving right now.

And I think there's still hope.

Expectation he returns in place for this team.

Remember, free agency comes back upon you pretty quick in this league.

You know Kevin Durant's in the second year of a four year deal and getting Harden.

That's another reason for for Durant to want to stay.

But now, if you get Irving back on and he's back Thio playing at a high level, you have a 123 Perhaps unlike we've seen in this league in the modern era, but certainly it comes at a steep price.

Four first round picks, four picks, swaps, the Pixar unprotected one of those picks is coming from Cleveland.

This is part of a three way deal, really a four way deal.

Caris Levert goes from the Nets to the Indiana Pacers and Indiana since Victor Oladipo to Houston.

So a lot of moving parts in this deal.

You mentioned some of those moving parts, and the Kyrie piece of this is really interesting.

I want to get back to that.

But let's talk about this 14 deal.

Give us a little more detail on the second level.

Part of this other than just James Harden joining the Nets.

Well, I think this was a deal, really.

That came together in the last couple of days, and Philadelphia was very much, uh, in pursuit of James Harden.

Obviously, Daryl Morey, their president, traded for him in Houston.

One a great deal with him.

But ultimately, that's Nets deal this package.

Bringing Cleveland, uh, into it.

I got it done.

And for Houston, you look at them.

Remember they gave up Ah, lot of picks and that Chris Paul Russell Westbrook deal.

They get him back and then some, and it gives the Rockets now their new GM, Rafael Stone and ability to start to rebuild.

Uh, Victor, all depots in the last year of his contract.

You know, they could see how that goes.

Do they want to resign him?

Uh, does he wanna be there?

But certainly Ah, blockbuster deal by any standard, uh, in the n b a.

And it is going to be a fascinating to see Harden and Kevin Durant reunited, uh, in Brooklyn.

Obviously, they played in Oklahoma City together.

And then Kyrie Irving likely potentially.

You would expect at some point as part of that mix, too.

Wow.

As all this was coming downwards on your Twitter, it was like looking around like, Wow, what else is going to be added to this?

But just to recap for everybody, we see James Harden go from Houston to the Brooklyn Nets, joining up with Kevin Durant.

Something that he wanted to dio.
