I found this interesting, too:
"The Mavericks did explore a trade for Victor Oladipo, per sources, but Houston dealt him to Miami instead. Dallas essentially believed Oladipo couldn’t improve the guard rotation and wouldn’t fit without someone being moved. While Oladipo boasts higher upside than any of the guards not named Luka Doncic, I tend to agree with the assessment. He has struggled since returning from his 2019 injury, and the trio of Josh Richardson, Tim Hardaway Jr. and Jalen Brunson are performing at their most consistent levels since the season began. The team isn’t in a desperate situation and shouldn’t gamble on players it doesn’t believe in."
For what it´s worth the Rockets fans hated Oladipo. They were still shocked about the return, but their main issue was losing Levert, Allen and Prince, not Oladipo.So I kind of agree. How big is the upgrade with Oladipo breaking into our rotation of Luka, THJ, Richardson and Brunson. And looming above it all his desire to play for Miami. I get it tbh. Redick you can just throw out there for 10 minutes, if you like. Oladipo you have to keep happy. Dude clearly thinks of himself as a star, because of one outstanding season.
