The Nets have reportedly made a deal with the Houston Rockets to get back the 2026 first-round pick they dealt for James Harden.

According to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski, Brooklyn traded the 2027 first-round pick they received from the Phoenix Suns in the Kevin Durant deal to Houston for the pick they gave up for Harden a few years back.

The deal also has the Rockets relinquish the right to swap a Houston/OKC first-round pick for Brooklyn's 2025 pick, which means the Nets' first-round pick will be theirs.

Following the deal that sent Mikal Bridges to the Knicks, the Nets are now in a full rebuild and have acquired six picks to facilitate the team's new direction.
