Recently a member of the Rockets, Victor Oladipo does not yet know where he will play next season. Will Houston’s good form convince him to stay? If not, a franchise in the East already wants it back!
After revealing himself to Indiana with a big first season, Victor Oladipo did not have the hoped-for ascent. Although in offensive form, a knee injury hampered him in his tracks, although he had great ambitions. Since then, we can say that the rear has encountered some difficulties with its level of play.
Eager to hit a big contract despite his injury, he never found an agreement with the Pacers to extend his lease in the summer of 2019. And with his 14.5 points average, the leaders did not necessarily want to align the “0” on his check. It was therefore traded, without too much surprise.
Today in Houston, Oladipo regains sensations: 21 points on average in 7 games, as well as 5.4 assists and 4.7 rebounds. Even better ? The Rockets are on a 5 game winning streak. But will all of this convince him to stay? Perhaps, because remember that the person concerned will be a free agent next summer.
In one conceivable scenario, the Rockets could still trade him before the deadline set in March. If the leaders feel that Oladipo will go to the next free agency, then you might as well get something back in return, right? This is where the Knicks come in, as there is interest, according to A. Sherrod Blakely of Bleacher Report.
That’s why we’ll have to keep an eye on the Rockets and Victor Oladipo. The former All-Star has had a few injuries but he is among the most talented players when he is in good health. Sources say the Knicks are keeping an eye on him for the deadline, and even beyond.
The Knicks are always on the lookout for a player who can help this team move forward. Does Oladipo fit all of this? At 100%, it could in any case make a nice difference in the Big Apple. It remains to be seen whether the price to pay will not be too heavy. This is where it gets complicated.
Victor Oladipo at the Knicks? This is not the first franchise that comes to mind, especially given the great ambitions of the rear. Be careful not to do anything.
