Big-name NBA trade candidates: Victor Oladipo
From all the names that are listed in this piece, I believe that the most likely of them to be traded is Victor Oladipo. The Houston Rockets are beginning to fall out of the playoff race in the Western Conference and it would be prudent of them to at least see what the market is for Oladipo at the NBA Trade Deadline.
He’s an expiring contract after the season and will be a free agent and there’s no guarantee that he’s going to want to re-sign in Houston. Considering all that, the Rockets might have to trade Oladipo at the deadline if they get any indication that he’s not going to sign long-term with the team, or if Houston simply doesn’t have long-term plans for Oladipo internally.
Oladipo has been great this season and the Rockets would likely be able to snag another valuable asset or two in exchange for him should they pursue a trade.
