The best league in the world is trying to relax from the hysterical trade, at the center of which and after eight years of service, James Harden abandoned the Houston Rockets in favor of the Brooklyn Nets of Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving.
The man and old man will move on to collaborate with his friend from the happy Oklahoma City days, Mike Dantoni and the 2024 second-round pick from Cleveland.
Houston, which has grown tired of the club's main symbol in recent years, has received an impressive boost from Indiana in the form of Victor Oladipo.
And it's not the end at all, from Cleveland, the Rockets got Dante Axum, and from Brooklyn the Rodions Corox, 4 rounds and 4 substitutions in the first round.
Indiana gets Charis to Wart and a second-round pick and the Cubs got to get Jarrett Allen and Torian Prince.
The morning after, the one who was a little less excited about Brooklyn's desperate move to the championship was LeBron James.
"The truth is I don't have too much to say about this trade," King said after the win over Oklahoma, "like every year, there are trades in our league. I only care about my team. That's where most of my focus is."

Whoever shed light on the huge trade was reporter Shams Charania, who reported that the deal was actually resolved in the last two months after Harden, Durant and Kyrie met about a month and a half ago in Los Angeles, when the possibility of a tripartite collaboration came up.
Currently, it is still unknown what Irving's part will be in the celebration, given the suspension he said he snatched from the league management following his mysterious disappearances.
Either way, the one who did not wait long and opened a big mouth on Harden, is Houston's former chin and friend, Demarcus Cousins.
"That's what's ugly in our league," he slammed tonight, "when there's a big star who wants to go by force, everything gets disgusting and not very pretty. To say what he said is a complete disrespect to us, but everyone is allowed to hold their own opinion, but it's clearly stated. Just to get him to let go.
The chin continued to fire: "From day one, Harden's attitude towards us was utter contempt. His conduct off the field and in training camp, for a long time, James did what he wanted but there are 14 other players by his side who share a locker room with him. To hear him speak like that And to see him behave like that, it's just disrespectful and inappropriate. "
"Probably this is how he manages his affairs, he is allowed to feel and think what he wants towards the team and the situation he is in, but there are more players with you in the locker room. To receive such criticism and such conduct from a team member, it is not appropriate. Does he think he can play "Honestly, I do not really care and I really do not know the answer now."
