The offseason just got more interesting as a historic NBA 7-team trade took place involving some of the biggest teams in the league. Last month, the fans got to know about Kevin Durant's fate as it was revealed that he was headed to the Houston Rockets.
Since then, that blockbuster deal has developed into a 7-team trade. The other teams are jumping in the trade to move their assets and manage their cap space to stay away from the luxury tax or to reduce it. On Sunday, NBA insider Shams Charania shared a full breakdown of the entire trade with a tweet.

Here are the transactions involving the players and draft capital moved in the historic NBA 7-team trade.

Kevin Durant's trade was not approved until the league entered its new fiscal year (starting from Jul. 1). On the other hand, end of the trade and free agency embargo was Sunday, so when the teams got an opportunity to announce their already agreed upon trades and signings, they took part in the historic NBA 7-team trade to do it before the embargo.
The Lakers have possibly walked away with a solution to the wing vacancy from the NBA 7-team trade
The LA Lakers have probably walked away with a temporary solution to their 3-and-D player search. On Jun. 29, the Purple and Gold's starting wing player Dorian Finney-Smith opted out of his player option. However, LA let him walk out as a free agent instead of offering him a new contract. A day later, he joined the Houston Rockets in free agency.
Finney-Smith's departure has left a hole in the Lakers' offense. They are now missing a wing player who can be effective on both ends of the court. However, with this NBA 7-team trade, they have now acquired Adou Thiero who has the potential to be a temporary solution to their problems.
Thiero averaged 15.7 points, 6.0 rebounds and 1.9 assists per game in his senior year of college basketball with the Arkansas Razorbacks. He shot 54.9 percent from the field and 26.2 percent from deep.
On the defensive end, he averaged 1.7 steals and 0.8 blocks per game. Apart from his range shooting, he is a great two-way player that JJ Redick can take a chance on until they find a desired player to fill the wing role.
The other teams also benefited greatly from the NBA 7-team trade. The Suns got a full package of role players, apart from a potential star in Jalen Green. The Warriors received two good role players whom they can package in other trades or give a chance in rotations. While Atlanta and Minnesota walked away with some draft capital and cash, they can use to extend contracts or sign new players in the future.
