It's been nearly two weeks since the Kevin Durant trade first broke, but the future Hall of Famer has still not been officially announced as a member of the Houston Rockets. That is because there is no rush to finalize the details amid the free agency moratorium period, as there could be salary cap and apron advantages to expanding the deal.

Houston won’t formally acquire Kevin Durant and Clint Capela until this weekend, and The Athletic says the deal may involve an NBA-record seven teams.

The Athletic's Fred Katz reported Wednesday night that the Houston Rockets' Kevin Durant deal with the Phoenix Suns could expand into a seven-team bonanza. The trade hasn't been made official yet, which allows for this maneuvering, most of which would be done to move some salary around between various teams.
