It's a boring trade this year.
Well let's wait if there's something big that will come out, we still have 4 days if I am right.
Here is the latest and it's not appealing at all.
Trading the injured.
A win for the Rockets? Maybe.
I don't see Oladipo being the same Oladipo anymore. He was a rising star before the injury but in today's game and how I see it with his performances, I don't think we will see that same speed and agility anymore. Even if the injury is fully healed, the mental effect will linger.
Unlike Adams, he has shown tenacity and I think anyone who wants a big man will consider him.

This seems like a fun but also strange deal. If I'm not mistaken, Oladipo performed very well when he was still in a Pacers uniform, while his last few seasons in a Heat uniform were already mediocre. I guess his performance is likely to get even worse after his recovery, given the nature of his injury.
So I also think this is a good deal for the Rockets because when Adams is healthy, he'll be useful in the paint anyway.
