At least 3 teams interested in Kelly Oubre Jr.?

After an average season on the side of Golden State, (especially because of physical glitches) Kelly Oubre Jr who will be a free agent this summer could well pack up.

According to Yahoo Sports, several teams are interested in KOJ, including the Spurs, the Knicks and the Heat. 3 teams he could compete in.

In Miami, he could create spacing next to Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo who squat the racket and abuse the mid-range (which among other things caused their loss to the Bucks).

In New York it’s a bit the same thing: in a defensive team looking for a 3 position, KOJ would bring shooting qualities that the Knicks sorely lacked in the 1st round against Atlanta (Reggie Bullock can attest to this).

Finally, in San Antonio, in a team full of young people with potential, he could be a centerpiece of the workforce driven by Greg Popovich. Especially if the winger leaves DeMar DeRozan, also a free agent this summer.

Ultimately, a departure of Kelly Oubre Jr this summer would seem possible, even beneficial for him. At Golden State, with the return from injury of Klay Thompson next year, Oubre (if tempted he stays) could and should start on the bench. A role that might not suit him, especially if he can hold it elsewhere. However, he could take the example of other players who have adapted well in this role such as Jordan Clarkson at Jazz among others.
