Rockets’ Oladipo “likely” to be traded before Thursday’s deadline

Victor Oladipo will likely be traded by the Houston Rockets before the deadline on Thursday, reports ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.

The Miami Heat and New York Knicks, who each could sign Oladipo outright as a free agent this offseason, are reluctant to offer a premium trade package to the Rockets.

There are teams who don’t project to have cap space who are bidding with combinations of a first round pick and a young player.
