Perhaps the most heavily scrutinized trade in last months trade deadline involved the Houston Rockets, as they sent Victor Oladipo to the Miami Heat in the ninth hour of the deadline. The return of Kelly Olynyk, Avery Bradley, and a future pick swap drew a mount of criticism for Rockets GM Rafael Stone.

Many questioned why the Rockets didn’t get Duncan Robinson, Tyler Herro, or Precious Achiuwa in return for Oladipo, a two-time All-Star and former All-NBA selection.
