Rumors are swirling around a potential Harden deal, this is a likely situation in which a three or four team trade may be likely.

Houston settle on Ben over Joel but the 6ers are more likely to give them Ben over their star center. The rockets still get back a star player who can potentially grow in a pnr with Westbrook or in the spaced system the rockets ran this season. They also get back an abundance of picks and two young players with potential. It's quite possible that the rockets may look to deal Westbrook after this deal but a fit of Ben and Russ in Houston is still better for developing with the clogged system in Philly.

Philly set themselves up to be a potential dynasty in the eastern conference with a kobe shaq type vibe along with a strong suporting cast, it's possible the rockets ask for more and the potential of tobias harris or josh richardson inclusion is possible. They also trade a lottery protected to rid themself of the Horford contract shedding millions in cap. Allthough they lose alot, the risk vs reward is massive.

The Pistons take on the Horford contract but take in more picks and build their view for the future.
