Dallas Mavericks Receive: Victor Oladipo

Houston Rockets Receive: Tim Hardaway Jr., Tyrell Terry, 2021 2nd Round Pick

Victor Oladipo has one final year left on his contract and it doesn’t appear to be in the Houston Rockets’ best interest to re-sign him in free agency. This is why the Indiana Pacers ultimately decided to move him because they were not going to sign another deal.

That is the decision that the Rockets will have to make moving forward. If they do not intend to sign Victor Oladipo, it would make sense to move him at the deadline before he can leave a free agency.
