SB Nation Reacts: Oladipo for Olynyk?

A change of heart?

We had a special Houston Rockets question this week for our local H-town voters, and it revolved around the trade deadline deal that GM Rafael Stone made that sent Victor Oladipo to the Miami Heat in exchange for Kelly Olynyk, Avery Bradley, and a 2022 pick swap.

Stone was widely derided in the Twitter-verse, in some league circles, and even among some Rockets fans for failing to turn Oladipo, the key player piece in the James Harden trade earlier this season, into something more substantial.
