The Timberwolves, Hawks, Rockets, and Nuggets are in agreement on a massive four-team trade, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski (Twitter link). Shams Charania of The Athletic first reported (via Twitter) that the four clubs were close to reaching a deal, while Woj says (via Twitter) the players involved are now being informed.
According to Wojnarowski (Twitter link), Charania (Twitter links), and Jon Krawczynski of The Athletic (Twitter link), the trade looks like this:
- Robert Covington, Jordan Bell, and a second-round pick to Houston.
- Clint Capela and Nene to Atlanta.
- Malik Beasley, Juan Hernangomez, Evan Turner, Jarred Vanderbilt, and Brooklyn’s 2020 first-round pick (from Atlanta) to Minnesota.
- Gerald Green, Keita Bates-Diop, Shabazz Napier, Noah Vonleh, and Houston’s 2020 first-round pick to Denver.
