Sources have denied a report that the Brooklyn Nets and Houston Rockets are nearing a verbal agreement on a trade involving James Harden.
Brooklyn would almost certainly have to build a trade package centered around Caris LeVert, Spencer Dinwiddie, Jarrett Allen and multiple first round picks.
The Rockets would prefer a young star for Harden rather than a collection of assets to initiate a long rebuild.
The Nets have had contact with Houston on a trade, but nothing substantive has materaizlied.
