2x NBA All-Star The Golden State Warriors Must Consider

I believe the Golden State Warriors should consider signing Victor Oladipo.

Victor Oladipo most recently played in the NBA during the 2022-23 season when he appeared in 42 games (two starts) for the Miami Heat.

The former Indiana Hoosiers star missed all of last season due to injury and is currently a free agent who is available to sign with any team in the league.

I believe the Golden State Warriors should take a chance on signing the former All-Star.

Oladipo will likely never regain his All-Star status at 32.

However, he proved with Miami that he could be a solid role player when healthy.

In a bunch of recent Instagram posts, Oladipo has shown that he is looking ready to play this season.

The Warriors are coming off a season where they were the tenth seed in the Western Conference with a 46-36 record.

They lost to the Sacramento Kings in the play-in tournament, so they missed the NBA playoffs for the third time in the previous five seasons.

In addition, the Warriors saw the departure of four-time NBA Champion Klay Thompson (via free agency) over the offseason.

That said, the Warriors still have Steph Curry and Draymond Green on the roster.

The franchise has had a lot of success bringing in veteran players over the course of their dynasty.

For reference, DeMarcus Cousins joined the Warriors after suffering a serious injury in 2018.

At this point in Oladipo's career, he could likely be signed to a team-friendly deal.

Therefore, there would be no risk for the Warriors to take a chance on a player with his talent.
