    I like Oladipo a lot, but it seems like he’s always injured.

    Which is why it's puzzling because the dude JUST came back from injury and now wants to leave the franchise that allowed him to heal/rehab on his own timeline without rushing him back. Like, yes I get it, you probably want to go play in Miami where you don't have to shoulder the burden of an entire franchise on your shoulders but....at least give your current team a chance? Indy might have gotten swept by the Heat but maybe give yourself and your team a chance to gel?

    Isn't this the same path Paul George took?

    Do you think that GS will give up the 2nd pick for him? I know nothing about the depth of the upcoming draft.

    Morey has his work cut out for him with few assets unfortunately.

    Not even in your wildest dreams, friend! Even Brogdon and Turner for Russ and picks isn't likely.

    No, I think that GS has eyes for a better player. There are some players out there like Towns that may force their way to new teams.

    It would be hilarious if he forces his way to GSW

    D'Angelo: "Bro we're going to do big things in Minnesota!"
    KAT: "Yea about that...I'm heading to the Warriors"
    D'Angelo: "What??? I just came from there! I left Cali to go play in a frozen tundra because you're here!"

    Thanks. I believe Vic is better than Towns, but his injury history is worrying. GS probably doesn't need him with Klay coming back.

    Maybe Indy knows something about Oladipo's injury that the rest of the NBA isn't privy to, yet.

    Morey can always throw in some pick in the 2030s.

    I would do Brogdon plus expirings for Russ straight up. Russ is not a winner, and Brogdon is the type of backcourt mate Harden needs.

    Oladipo for EG all day. One guy has 1 year left on his contract and the other just got an extension.
