Indiana Pacers star Victor Oladipo recently gave up on the NBA restart effort in Orlando, Florida.
The news added more fuel to the fire regarding Oladipo who will join Miami Heat in the future. In fact, two Pacer reporters have confirmed that the star Pacers and Miami have mutual interest.

I have no sources on this, AJ. I just point out that the chain of communication has been strange and there are many points to connect between him and Miami (e.g. Space for hats, Dwyane Wade, where he remodeled and is in part a gym owner, their interest, etc. .)

… there is more besides those things. It’s not a big secret in basketball clubs.

Oladipo, 28, returned from a broken quadriceps tendon injury in January.
The 6-foot-4 guard has only racked up 13.8 points, 3.2 rebounds and 3.0 assists per game this season. However, the rust of the injury played in his poor performance on return.
The Heat are interested in Oladipo, which is set to become a free agent in 2021.
After all, before the injury, the veteran was turning into a superstar. During the 2017-18 campaign, Oladipo averaged 23.1 points, 5.2 scoreboards, 4.3 assists and 2.4 steals per game.
The Heat and Pacers could meet in the playoffs this year. The Heat occupies the seat n. 4, while the Pacers occupy the seat n. 5 in the Eastern Conference.
The 2019-20 season officially resumes on July 30th.
