ShamsBomb: Victor Oladipo season done after undergoing Quad surgery

Sucks for him and for Miami. So many injuries this season!

 

Oladipo's next contract just tanked SO hard in overall value.

Not that there's ever a good time to get injured, but this was literally the worst time for injury news. Dude is a complete risk.

 

Oladipo was done a lot earlier in the season than this.

 

Great trade stoner.

 

Career killer.

 

He can recover from this, but he might not ever recover all the CHEESE he left on the table. Plus, we have now officially won the Kelly Olynyk trade. Yay!

 

Makes you wonder if Rockets were aware of this potentially happening prior to the trade....

 

I guess no brinks truck.

 

Didn't stop them from offering a max extension lol.

 

That is brutal. Get the Cowboys to pay you. They bought an injured qb, who is average at best, never won anything, and gave him the keys to the house.

 

But Victor did state they knew he wouldn't accept it.

 

Yes! Psychic stone and frugalman saw it coming a mile away. Geniuses!

 

He should have taken the extension. We doged a bullet.

 

P

Props to Victor, he’s a grown man and he chose lifestyle over money. He wanted to be in Miami, and no amount of guaranteed money would cause him to sell his principles. He’s gonna still earn some coin, but he’s gonna have to wait.


I remember when Jason Castro bypassed the contract from the Astros back in mid decade; overall he made as much or more than the guaranteed money the Astros offered, but he had to negotiate a few more contracts.


There is so much stupid money in sports, they are struggling to divide it up.

 

An example of how luck can sometimes counter idiotic ownership. Shouldn't have traded for him to begin with, and shouldn't have offered him a max extension either. Dodged one for sure.

 

Forgot to ask -- why did he have 4 surgeries?

 

Dipo will most likely miss all of next season also. my goodness.

 

The scouting/medical department who looked at the likelihood of him bouncing back and did his physical immediately after the trade completely blew this trade. It is possible they expressed the risk correctly to Stone, it feels more that they just missed. The issue though, is that I've had questions with that group for years with the Rockets.

 

thank you for declining the huge extension we had for you
