The Houston Rockets are trading Victor Oladipo to the Miami Heat.

The trade was one of a flurry of moves made around the league as the NBA reached its trade deadline for the 2020-21 season.

The Rockets had acquired Oladipo earlier this season as part of the four-team deal involving James Harden heading to the Brooklyn Nets.

In 20 games with the Rockets, Oladipo averaged 21.2 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 5.0 assists. The two-time All-Star was widely expected to be traded on Thursday as he faces unrestricted free agency at season’s end, combined with the Rockets’ season struggles to date.

Bradley, a former Texas Longhorn, will be joining his seventh team in what is now his 11th season in the NBA. In 10 games - with one start - this season with the Heat, Bradley averaged 8.5 points, 1.8 rebounds, and 1.4 assists. Bradley was originally selected as the 19th overall pick in the 2010 NBA Draft by the Boston Celtics.

Olynyk has started 38 of his 43 games played this season, averaging 10.0 points, 6.1 rebounds, and 2.1 assists. He was originally selected as the 13th overall pick in the 2013 NBA Draft by the Celtics in a pick acquired from the Dallas Mavericks.
