Miami Heat Rumors: 3 reasons they shouldn’t give up assets to land Victor Oladipo

Miami Heat reasons not to move assets for Victor Oladipo: Injury History

Victor Oladipo managed to come back during last season’s NBA Bubble situation and play well, might I add. He was actually also managing somewhat of a healthy year this season as well, with all things considered and that included a bit of load or health management in the form of missing games.

Then he was traded to Houston. He began to play a bit more regularly there, but still missed games here or there, seeming to be toggling back and forth with John Wall over who was playing on any given night.

They finally got some sense of togetherness and then, ironically enough, the Houston Rockets and the Miami Heat were set to face off. This was surely a chance for Oladipo to make a great impression in a game that Pat Riley would surely be interested in, but he managed to tweak something during that game as well.

Unfortunately, he wouldn’t return and that was the beginning of another extended absence of at least two more weeks. Fast forward to the time he returned, just a few games or so ago for Houston.

Then, on Monday night in a game that the Rockets would eventually go on to lose that also just so happens to be apart of their massive skid at the moment, Oladipo was injured again it seemed in the first half. That’s never great, injury that is, but when you have his injury history of recent and extended, it’s really tough to take.

Though he would start the second half of that game, the fact that there always seems to be something tweaked or going on with him might worry you a bit too. That’s the second reason that the Heat shouldn’t’ move assets to land him.
