Oladipo is coming back to earth this season. Still a good player.

Oladipo likely just blew his patellar tendon like Roberson did. Hopefully it's just a dislocation but it doesn't look promising.

Hope it's not THAT serious but it's clearly not good. Best case scenario is that he will only come back healthy next season in my opinion. Pacers are cursed too

A lot of similarities between the way the two were injured/sitting out prior to the major one. Players need to start taking this into their own hands, but then you have kawhi/fultz situations.

I missed the stuff leading up to the injury with Dipo. What happened?

It came out on Twitter (through anonymous sources) in early December that he needed to shut it down for the year or there was risk this would happen.

I saw some of that stuff at the time but figured there wasn't any substance to it after he came back. Looks like it had some validity to it after all. Sucks for him and the Pacers so much. I hope he comes back strong.

Losing Andre for the length of time he been gone has been unfortunate, but its a whole different universe for your franchise player.

Gutted for him. Pacers have only lost 15 games too they seem to get zero media

Wow. Davis requested a trade. Lots of teams would become contenders if they got him.

CROklahoma · Post #372 » by **CROklahoma** » Mon Jan 28, 2019 1:16 pm

Overrated.
Anyone throwing their whole future assets at the guy who cant connect 10 games being healthy is in a huge risk.

spearsy23 · Post #373 » by **spearsy23** » Mon Jan 28, 2019 1:22 pm

In before Lakers not willing to throw assets at a guy they can just sign after next year.

Post #374 » by **ThunderBolt** » Mon Jan 28, 2019 1:25 pm

I don't think he's overrated but I do think he's unreliable.

Going to be a interesting two weeks as an NBA fan, but a somber two weeks for the pelicans franchise.

I hope every team makes offers for him and NO pulls a San Antonio and trades him anywhere besides the Lakers.

If I'm new orleans I would wait until summer when boston can make an offer. Who else is in play besides LA and boston?

It really depends if AD wants to play for the lakers or any contender team.

If he's open to other options, Blazers has the assets and would be crazy good with him.

And if I'm NOLA I would force LA to give it all right now making it clear that Boston has better assets if they wait this offseason.

It's fair to ask how valuable all of LA's assets even are at this point.
