Sources: Miami Heat acquire Victor Oladipo in trade with Houston Rockets, expected to be front-runners for LaMarcus Aldridge

The Miami Heat agreed to acquire star guard Victor Oladipo from the Houston Rockets just before Thursday's trade deadline, a source told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.

Although sources told ESPN earlier this week that there was widespread confidence Houston would trade Oladipo, the teams went right up to the 3 p.m. ET deadline before agreeing to the trade.

In return, the Rockets get Avery Bradley, Kelly Olynyk and 2022 first-round swap rights, sources told ESPN's Tim MacMahon. Those swap rights include Brooklyn's pick, a source told ESPN.

With Oladipo in Miami, the Heat also are expected to emerge as a front-runner to sign LaMarcus Aldridge, sources told Wojnarowski.
