Former NBA All-Star and Houston Rockets guard Victor Oladipo is still preparing mentally after his 2019 quad injury in January.
Oladipo recently landed in Houston in a four-team trade and averages 20.4 points per game shooting 39.6 percent from the field.
“Some around the NBA are going with the latter. League executives told ESPN’s Tim Bontemps that Houston could deal him elsewhere prior to the March 25 deadline. That logic tracks in a vacuum. Oladipo is headed for a sizable payday in restricted free agency, and the Rockets aren’t on the cusp of jockeying for a title. But his contract status also creates compensation issues,” via Bleacher Report.
If Oladipo is committed to winning, some teams with the reliable assets can make a move to bring in a combo-guard who was once a top-10 guard in the Eastern Conference.
The Rockets are 11-10 as a 10th seed and could get bench production in exchange for Oladipo.
