The Victor Oladipo drama ended with the Indiana Pacers recently. When James Harden was sent to the Brooklyn Nets, the Houston Rockets acquired Oladipo from Indiana in exchange for Caris LeVert. Now, Oladipo could be on the move once again before the NBA trade deadline. Could the Golden State Warriors be a potential landing spot?
The Rockets are in a clear rebuilding phase. They just sent away Harden to Brooklyn and traded Russell Westbrook to the Washington Wizards at the beginning of the offseason. Oladipo is in the final year of his contract and it is unknown if Houston will re-sign the two-time NBA All-Star to an extension. If not, they are in the same position that the Pacers were.
A team that could be looking to add more fire power along the perimeter is the Golden State Warriors. Steph Curry has this team playing at a high-level once again after a slow start to the regular season.
The Warriors are learning to play without Klay Thompson, which was difficult to do in the beginning after learning about the injury to his Achilles. The Warriors have been a team that likes to shoot from deep and have no threat at the moment other than Curry.
If the Warriors want to add another shooter along the perimeter, Victor Oladipo seems like the perfect fit. Here is a trade that would land Oladipo in the backcourt of Golden State along with Steph Curry.
