Golden State Warriors Reportedly Exploring Options to Sign Victor Oladipo

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.

Its really crazy if they push to make this to happen since they already have lots of guards in the roster. What they actually need is better role player on other position and they don't need additional liability for their team.

Their small ball line up is not working anymore and its proven for many years. I don't know if Warriors front office learn from what happen to them for past few years.

If they push to sign him maybe we cannot still see Warriors to compete on finals.

Well, if the Warriors signed him to a minimum contract, then it’s not a big risk for them. Although Victor was indeed a promising player in the past, after such a long absence from the NBA, I doubt he’ll be able to perform well, even if he manages to stay healthy. In any case, it will be interesting to see how he performs on the court now.

I guess they really liked his performances against the Clipper and the Spurs last week when he played with Guangzhou. I mean it was ok but nothing extraordinary or anything. He just made the shots was was supposed to hit. I also don't think it's a good idea to sign another guard, also Oladipo with his injuries is definitely a risk, sure not for the money but because of a roster spot they could use somebody else for. Problem is they still try to find a team, like a week away from the start of the season. This whole offseason os worrying and now thinking about signing players that were out of the league doesn't make it better I think.

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.

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.

[tbterryboy]

So I guess it's just about right on where they are as far as outright betting goes. No doubt that OKC will be the top favorite, their core is intact and with just minor additions to their team. Cavs was a good team last year, maybe they can have a break out run and push past the second round with Mitchell and Garland.

Same with the Nuggets, they still have Jokic at the helm, although they've traded Porter Jr., they added Cam Johnson and Jonas Valanciunas to give Jokic some time to rest and then put him in the last 6 minutes of the 4th quarter.

I like their current ranking in the championship futures, mainly because i trust the active players they have right now.

Irving doesn’t need to rush his return, he can take his time to recover. as long as the mavericks can maintain a playoff spot, that’s already good enough.
I’m sure he’ll be back before the playoffs, fully healthy and ready to go.

OKC seems like a good candidate without a doubt, after all they are the reigning champions. People called Sam Presti a mad men when he started to just trade anyone he can find, just get more and more picks.

At one point I remember, they had like 3-4 first round picks for many years in a row. But dude knew something nobody else knew, those players, those picks, turn into a team, and could become even more picks, and one day, they could trade those picks to get a good player. Look at them now, all that rebuilding, all that tanking, and now they are the winners finally. They also used the fact that there aren't any superstar dominating team anymore, most teams look equally good, at least top 5-6 looks greatly close to each other.

[dimonstration]

This is debatable. I’m sure Nuggets improved their roster now and remove cancer player that dragging them down but OKC is a different beast now that they have championship experience.

OKC is still having a mind games on their last year run due to many years of choking the playoffs but this season onwards is different for them since they already have the experience.

Assuming OKC will keep their core players intact especially Chet. I believe they will be unstoppable.

There is one thing which is really a big factor for the team that you can see.

If the Nuggets get Jokic out of the court the offense and defense will go dodwn a big percentage and there will be a big adjustment for the team while it will be easier a lot for the opponent for the defense and under the rim offense.

For the Thunders, theres a lot of option and taking out there superstar will surely not be a big adjustment as their line up now is really balance and can rotate well.
You can add up on this their young age.

On point, this is the weakness of Nuggets. Their relying heavily to Jokic since he is the most consistent and play maker for them despite he is not a guard.

Nuggets is lucky because Jokic is smart so he doesn’t do a risky move that will make him injured. All his move is calculated and despite playing physical as a center he is always avoiding heavy contact.

But it’s proven that without Jokic, Nuggets is struggling.

Those picks gives them enough time doing that rebuilding process and with patience and good blends and chemistries they managed to win the title, like what you just mentioned they are not a big 3 or something they just support and respects each other, knowing that each of them have their own roles when given a chance to play.

Still have that good chance to repeat what they've done last season though too early to conclude as there are good contenders this season  especially they are in the west side where fans expecting their supported teams will perform to reach the finals.

[AHOYBRAUSE]

Seems like Milwaukee is getting desperate in fear of losing Giannis anytime soon. His remarks about the team and so on doesn't really sound hopeful and he deliberately puts pressure on the front office.
Now in yet another more to make him happy the signed the next brother of his to a 2 way contract. 

https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/46583158/bucks-sign-alex-antetokounmpo-two-way-contract

Man, would be so funny if he leaves in the next transfer window and they are stuck with 2 of his no good brothers, hahaha.

[btc_angela]

Because if he can return by December, then he can warm up and be in peak condition when the playoffs starts, he will have a few months to both play and rest when he feels like he is getting tired. We all remember the young Cavs kyrie, but this dude has been around the league for a while now and getting older, coming back from this injury is not about first game he can play but more about how he will continue to rest during the season as well.

Even though he’s been injury-prone, what I really like about Irving is that every time he comes back, he still looks the same.. the swag, the confidence, the way he controls the game. He doesn’t lose that edge, and he still manages to lift his teammates.

With the kind of stacked lineup they have right now, I don’t think Irving needs to overwork himself. He just needs to facilitate and let the others do their thing, since a lot of them can score too. As long as he stays careful and keeps that chemistry going, the team should be solid. Their young rookie, being a first overall pick, could definitely add some spark and help balance things out.

We still don't know that if the swag will come back, Kyrie is 33 year old and at that age, maybe he can't be the same as before when he comes back the injuries that he had in his career might take a toll sooner or later.

But the line up is still one of the best specially they have the number 1 rookie in this draft class and this could be enough for the Dallas fans to somewhat still very positive on how things are going to be for them this season. So let's see when is Kyrie going back, someone mentions December, if that is the case then it's good but If I'm Dallas I will have to rest him and not force the issue and be desperate.

I think everyone knows they have to trade him. Either that or they will lose him for nothing after one more year. They’re taking their time and that’s a good thing. The last thing they need is an aging star who is going to leave them like Giannis. They need to get a ton of draft picks and trade pieces for him.

[xLays]

Yes it is Giannis Antetokounmpo’s brother Kostas, who used to play for the Lakers and won championship in 2020, has now signed with the Milwaukee Bucks.

Meanwhile, Russell Westbrook still doesn’t have a team, eventhough the new season is about to start. There are  some reports saying he could earn more money if he plays in China than playing in NBA this season..

What do you think if you were the one making the decision lol, would you rather sign the Antetokounmpo brothers or have Westbrook on your team? I feel bad for Westbrook for not getting Championship in his career.

They need to make Giannis happy or else all the draft picks and money they have poured just for Giannis to stay will be thrown into the air, its business , that is their star who got the ring for them, Russel will have a team maybe before the season starts or mid season, there are teams that will need a backup, and Russel is a fit for any team, and is going to play as backup, maybe he just need a team that will not criticized him a lot, and the media is so obsessed, that they are ruining every player they like, this has not been the NBA, but criticizing players every now and then.

i heard he didn't re-sign with the Nuggets because he didn't want to play as a back-up player.

would you rather sign the Antetokounmpo brothers or have Westbrook on your team? I feel bad for Westbrook for not getting Championship in his career.

probably looking for a better younger talent. Westbrook is at a retirement age while the Antetokounmpo brothers are pushing retirement stage

Sometimes I really wonder where your infos are coming from.  Kostas Antetokounmpo is still playing for Olympiakos my friend. The brother that got signed recently to the 2 way contract was Alex Antetokounmpo, a guy that was signed in the NBA 3 times and got waived within less than a week 3 times.  Never played one second in the NBA and never significant minutes in any professional team. Just a pity nepotism signing.

With that it's really hard to compare Russ not getting any offers or one of the brothers of Giannis playing in the league or the Bucks to satisfy him. There are already a lot of reports that Giannis is not happy anymore with the Bucks.

They are no longer a contender team, unlike before when they become a champion, their core is really solid that time. Now the last one of them is gone which is Lopez. And even in the previous season they got Dame, their is no chemistry with him and Giannis that's why it didn't bore anything and then they have to let go of Dame.

I saw a joke on social media where someone said that Russell Westbrook was debating changing his last name to Antetokounmpo so that the Milwaukee Bucks would offer him a contract. I thought that was pretty funny because it seemed very true. Can’t hate on the Bucks though. They’ve been on that Kawhi scam for a minute. 

[Shinpako09]

It’s kinda clear now that the Bucks don’t want to let go of Giannis. They even signed his brother Alex to a two-way contract. Giannis won’t go anywhere as long as they keep his siblings on the Bucks’ lineup. They’re not really meant to help the team but to keep Giannis in Milwaukee. Now, those interested in Giannis know how to get him, just sign his two brothers along with him. With Boston out of the picture as a title contender, and maybe the Pacers as well, the Bucks now have a better chance.

Oops, this is getting pretty obvious now. The Bucks are really desperate to keep Giannis, that’s why they just agree to whatever he asks for. His brothers aren’t exactly contributors on the floor, they’re mostly there for moral support, and that costs millions. Wow.
