According to Shams Charania of The Athletic, the Grizzlies waived guard Victor Oladipo (knee) on Thursday. This move shouldn't have surprised anyone, especially since he remains without a return timetable after tearing his left patellar tendon in April 2023. Oladipo has had several potent seasons throughout his career and has been an All-Star twice. He's averaged 16.9 points in 504 regular season games. The 31-year-old is also capable of getting it done on the defensive end. That said, while Oladipo likely won't find work while sidelined by his most recent ailment, he shouldn't have trouble finding a new employer once healthy. However, his days as a routine fantasy producer are likely well behind him.
The Rockets traded guard Victor Oladipo (and three second-round picks) to Memphis on Thursday night. In exchange, Houston will receive center Steven Adams. The Rockets needed a veteran center to mentor Alperen Sengun, one of the league's top centers. But the Grizzlies needed to shave some cash off the books, so the move makes sense for both teams. Without question, Oladipo has been a top producer over the years on both ends of the floor and has two All-Star appearances to show for it. He's averaged 16.9 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 1.6 steals. Unfortunately, Oladipo can't stay healthy. He's currently sidelined by a knee injury sustained in the 2023 NBA playoffs and doesn't have a return date. But if the 31-year-old can get healthy and stay that way, he'll be a welcome addition to any fantasy roster.
Houston Rockets guard Victor Oladipo (knee) likely won't remain with the team for long, with the club reportedly trying to move on from him following his arrival on Tuesday in a deal with the Thunder. Jake Fischer of Yahoo Sports has noted that Houston sees Oladipo as a trade piece and has an interest in Detroit's Alec Burks, Utah's Talen Horton-Tucker, and Portland's Malcolm Brogdon. Oladipo is on an expiring contract that is set to pay him $9.5 million in 2023-24. He's had three major surgeries in four years and is currently recovering from a left-knee procedure, which was done in April. The 31-year-old is expected to miss most of 2023-24.
Oklahoma City Thunder guard Victor Oladipo (knee) won't be ready for the beginning of training camp, according to team president Sam Presti. Oladipo has struggled to stay healthy since suffering a ruptured quad tendon in 2019. He suffered another knee injury during the postseason with the Miami Heat last season. It's worth noting that the Thunder are loaded with young talent that needs playing time. Honestly, it's hard to imagine Oladipo carving out a legitimate role for himself even when healthy. He probably won't have much fantasy value to begin the season.
