In order for the deal to work out financially there would need to be more than Porter Jr included of course. Expect to see names like Will Barton, Gary Harris, and Paul Millsap also included.

There's been a ton of focus surrounding Harden and it certainly feels like he will be traded before 2021. As for Porter Jr, he's being picked by several outlets to be the biggest breakout star this upcoming NBA season.

We'll just have to wait and see if its in a Nuggets or Rockets jersey.
