    Golden State Warriors Reportedly Exploring Options to Sign Victor Oladipo
    Quote
    The Golden State Warriors are reportedly interested in signing former Indiana Pacers star Victor Oladipo. His addition to the Dubs could increase the intensity and help Stephen Curry with another defensive presence off the bench. Not only this, but his signing would also involve waiving a non-guaranteed player such as Gui Santos and signing the veteran to a minimum contract.

    I don't know about this. I was a big fan of Victor Oladipo back in the Indiana Pacers, but ever since the injury, he has been going back and forth to the injury list. It's a risk that the GSW will take, or perhaps they have already seen him work out. That's why they are eyeing him.

    Still, we don't know how he will perform in the bright lights.

    He didn't play last year, and in 2022-23, he only played 42 games, averaging 10 points per game. Before that, he played 8 games, and before that, he played 4 games.
    This is an injury-prone player, and it will be tough for the Warriors if it becomes a waste of a spot and salary cap.
    Oladipo? For what? Nah, what’s in the Warriors’ front office’s mind if they actually sign Oladipo? They should get a solid forward or center instead, enough with the guards already. They’re just wasting money. They can’t even use Kuminga properly or unlock his potential, and now there’s a rumor like that? Lol. Even if it’s for a minimum salary, will they actually use him or just let him sit on the bench? If it’s the latter, then don’t sign him at all.

    Agreed. Not because GSW already have enough guards since Victor can still be a good 2nd unit guard for them or replace Podziemsk that keeps bricking.

    The cons on acquiring Oladipo now is he is not the same player anymore after he suffered multiple knee and leg i jury for a short period of time.

    Acquiring him is high risk and at the same time he is not performing the same during his prime.

    But who knows maybe he can deliver. He play well on China and maybe Oladipo already heated up then can help Warriors especially to make their second unit to became more stronger.

    Although those things are just speculation but let see if this situation will prosper since its good to see Oladipo back in NBA. This will be a good redemption on his career. He just need to get a chance. That performance he made against Spurs is great indication that he's still NBA ready and can still be useful for teams that will sign him. Although acquiring him is high risk but we can't deny that Oladipo is really a great player.


    He will play in the second unit, giving Steph and butler a substitute while resting, but he can't play high level  and it will even shorten he's career, as you said he got multiple injuries, they are just using what is on the table, and he is available, but he can't play lots of minutes, and he has times where he can carry the team even with injuries, honestly when i saw him shooting before after the draft im saying he will be a star, and he did but thats not took long for injuries to stop him doing what he do best and its scoring, sadly he got a short career, because of the injuries.
