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.

The trade that will send Kevin Durant to the Rockets isn't complete yet, and the Lakers could be one of several teams that will help complete it.

The Los Angeles Lakers could potentially be involved in an NBA-record expanded deal of the Kevin Durant trade.
