In 2023, the Brooklyn Nets traded forward Kevin Durant to the Phoenix Suns as part of a four-team trade—and the future Hall of Famer could be forgiven if he thought that was the largest transaction he'd ever be a part of.

On Sunday, that record was apparently broken. The Houston Rockets' deal to acquire Durant from the Suns—first reported on June 22—has been expanded into a seven-team transaction, according to a Sunday afternoon report from Shams Charania of ESPN.

In total, 20 assets will change hands between the Atlanta Hawks, Nets, Golden State Warriors, Rockets, Los Angeles Lakers, Minnesota Timberwolves and Suns. They are as follows.
