Golden State Warriors
The Golden State Warriors have been linked at times as a potential landing spot for Victor Oladipo during some of the earlier stages of his career. There’s a case to be made this go around, too.
The Warriors franchise is used to make big moves to win championships. The presence of Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson in the backcourt has never stopped the front office from taking that next step.
Victor Oladipo is not the player’s caliber that would significantly change the Golden State Warriors. However, he could be a low-cost option to take a chance on. If it were to work out, they’d have another edge at their disposal.
The backcourt presence in Golden State will allow Oladipo to progress at his own pace as a member of the Warriors. He can act as a bench player and back up Klay Thompson and Andrew Wiggins on the wing. Having another pick-and-roll ball handler and isolation scoring threat could help.

The Golden State Warriors are a team that would not be worried about his injury history because of the cast of characters they have in place. No, Oladipo is not prime Kevin Durant, but he is still a big name that could move the needle bit if he can remain on the floor.
