The Indiana Pacers made a bold move on their off day, trading former All-Star Victor Oladipo to Houston as part of a multi-team deal that will send New Jersey Nets swingman Caris LeVert to the Pacers along with a second round pick.
After a coaching change and a strong start to the season, Oladipo quickly rehabbed his trade value allowing the Pacers to jump into the fray as James Harden continued to force the Rockets’ hand to trade the superstar. As Shams Charania reported, here are all of the moving parts of the deal.
