On August 2, Oladipo, the 2013 top show, updated Twitter: "Pain is my armor, and no one can conquer me. ”
The 32-year-old Oladipo may now be at the bottom of his career. Since being laid off by the Thunder in August 2023, he has not found a new job.
Oladipo is a player who is worse than Thomas Jr.
Thomas Jr., who refused the Celtics 70 million for 4 years, let the boiled duck fly, never signed a big contract again, and now has no ball to play.
And Oladipo, he made the boiled duck fly 3 times!
After Oladipo suffered a torn tendon in his right knee in 2019, his overall form declined.
The Pacers offered him a four-year, $80 million contract extension in the 2020 offseason, but he turned it down, considering his injury concerns.
At the beginning of the 2020-21 season, Oladipo was in the final year of his contract, and the Pacers raised the offer again, giving a four-year contract extension of 112 million, but Oladipo insisted on asking for a four-year contract with a maximum salary of 160 million.
To prevent Oladipo from leaving for nothing, the Pacers traded him to the Rockets in the middle of the 2020-21 season.
After Oladipo came to the Rockets, he played 20 games, averaging 21.2 points, 4.8 rebounds and 5 assists per game, and the Rockets offered him a two-year, 45.2 million contract, but Oladipo refused for the third time.
The Rockets had to trade him to the Heat, and the injury found Oladipo again, who was reimbursed for the season with a right knee injury.
In the summer of 2021, Oladipo, who is still recovering from injury, can only accept a one-year base salary contract of 2.39 million offered by the Heat.
Oladipo wanted to make another comeback, but due to injury, he did not perform as expected in the 2021-22 season, averaging only 10.7 points, 3 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game.
So he decided to try his luck and complete a two-year, 17 million contract extension with the Heat in the summer of 2022, with a player option in the second year.
As a result, he suffered another major injury in Game 1 of the playoffs in the 2022-23 season, tearing a patellar tendon in his left knee.
Oladipo had to exercise his player option for the 2023-24 season, but the Heat couldn't take it anymore and had to give the sick name to the Thunder.
Oladipo, perhaps, overestimated his physical qualities......
