The Houston Rockets traded away Victor Oladipo at the NBA trade deadline buzzer and brought in a pair of quality veterans, Kelly Olynyk and Avery Bradley. However, the early trade rumors had the Rockets pursuing packages centered around young talent and draft picks as compensation.
As trade deadline day unfolded, the Rockets were in heavy negotiations trying to move Oladipo before the deadline passed. As the 2 pm ct trade deadline passed, it seemed as if Oladipo was going to stick around for the rest of the year, and then it was announced that the Rockets had traded Oladipo to the Miami Heat right before the deadline passed.
