The trade aggregation restriction for Victor Oladipo, James Harden and the other five players involved in the deal has expired, according to ESPN's Bobby Marks.
Oladipo (Indiana to Houston), Harden (Houston to Brooklyn), Jarrett Allen, Taurean Prince (Brooklyn to Cleveland), Caris LeVert (Brooklyn to Indiana), Dante Exum (Cleveland to Houston) and Rodions Kurucs (Brooklyn to Houston) were all involved in the deal. The expiration of the restriction means that the players' salaries can now be combined with other salary in a trade, which is especially noteworthy when it comes to Oladipo. Earlier this season he turned down a two-year extension worth $45.2 million, which did not come as a surprise to the Rockets. But with the team struggling, and Oladipo intent on hitting the market as an unrestricted free agent, this could open the door for the Rockets considering the possibility of moving him ahead of the March 25 trade deadline.
