Is it possible that they don't at all view him as an asset in any way?
It is possible that Houston sees Oladipo as better player than LeVert. It is also possible they want this contract of the books next season (they can't pay him max anyway, if they want to avoid tax), which than kind of makes sense to trade him at TDL.
