As one of Harden’s main bargaining chips, the 28-year-old Oladipo’s strength has been proven, but when he played for the Rockets recently, Oladipo’s performance was not as impressive as when he joined the Rockets. The Rockets have lost in the last four games, and Oladipo has not performed particularly well in the other three games except for one rotation. Against the Spurs, Oladipo scored only 9 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists in 14 of 4 in 32 minutes. He performed well against the Hornets with 21 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists.
Beijing time on February 12 in the match with the Heat, Oladipo injured halfway and left the field, 6 of 2 in 20 minutes, only 6 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 steal. It can be said that Oladipo needs to adjust his state as soon as possible. Compared to when he first joined the Rockets, Oladipo's performance and data are obviously not as good as before. Oladipo has recently become the protagonist in the Rockets trade rumors. It is said that the Knicks are interested in Oladipo, and they may use Nellikina and forward Knox as a bargaining chip.
The previous news also showed that if the Rockets fail to trade Oladipo before the trade deadline (March 26), the Knicks are likely to complete the deal with the Rockets. Regardless of Oladipo's contract expiration after this season, the Knicks are confident of renewing his contract with Oladipo. But will the Rockets release people?
Judging from the current situation, maybe the president of the Rockets will stay in Oladipo. Earlier it was reported that the Rockets would observe Oladipo in 15-20 games before deciding whether to trade him. Now a few games have passed. Although Oladipo’s performance is not outstanding, the main reason is Hurt.
Even Rockets coach Silas was quite satisfied when talking about Oladipo. Silas said he was "completely satisfied" with Oladipo's performance, and in his opinion, the Rockets So Oladipo played a key role in becoming the top 5 defensive team in the league. Without Oladipo and the current Rockets, Silas also said that he thought Oladipo would be on the offensive end. Get back the feel.
Oladipo is back, Eric Gordon, who previously served as the main force at No. 2,Will naturally return to the bench. Gordon also expressed acceptance and willingness to make concessions. He said: "I have always been very efficient no matter whether it is a starter or a substitute. My style of play can be adapted to anyone and any style of play. I can shoot, hold the ball, defend, and from joining Since the first year of the Rockets, I have been sacrificing myself to win...If I were on the bench for the entire season, of course I would like to win this honor (the best 6th man)."
this season Den is the Rockets’ most consistent backcourt player. He averaged 29 minutes per game in 20 games, contributed 18.6 points, 2.3 rebounds and 2.4 assists. The three-point shooting percentage has risen from 32% last season to today. Of 36.1%. So the current situation is that Silas is very satisfied with Oladipo, he also has confidence in him, and believes Oladipo will regain his offensive state.
Gordon is also willing to return to the bench and compete for the "best 6th man". After all, whether it is the main force or the substitute, Gordon has no problem. Naturally, Gordon is also saying, willing "Concession" for Oladipo's main position, since the coach and teammates have shown good to Oladipo, do the Rockets need to rush Oladipo away? Maybe after Oladipo’s contract expires, he will renew his contract, and let the experienced Oladipo lead the Rockets’ young players to complete the reconstruction together, which is also a good plan.
