ESPN's Shams Charania reported the official trade details after it was allowed to become official on Sunday afternoon:

PHX: Jalen Green, Dillon Brooks, Khaman Maluach, Rasheer Fleming, Koby Brea, Daeqwon Plowden, 2nd

HOU: Kevin Durant, Clint Capela

At a glance, the Suns and the Rockets are still the two main featured teams, but there are some small moving pieces outside of the key players dealt.

For financial reasons, other teams had to be involved to balance team cap spaces and to help teams abide by the rules.

Clint Capela was signed as a free agent by Houston but was then added to the trade in a sign-and-trade situation.

Although this is an unprecedented moment, it wouldn't be surprising to see more trades with this many teams involved.

New financial rules could force these situations to be more common when major trades happen.

Teams that absorb big contracts and are already over the aprons or in the luxury tax now will have more difficulty making a trade with just one other team.
