Ex-Heat Victor Oladipo's NBA Comeback Hopes Shift After 3x All-Star PG Signing

Victor Oladipo says he’s seeking an NBA contract and has not played in more than three years, but his comeback hopes appear to have narrowed after Sacramento signed Ben Simmons. Oladipo, 34, wrote in The Players’ Tribune that his situation is “up to you,” describing his career as a “love story.” He has been linked to the Heat partly because Miami was his last team and because it needs a veteran guard. Earlier reports suggested the Kings were considering Oladipo or Russell Westbrook, but they chose Simmons on a one-year deal. A FanSided analysis argues Sacramento’s final roster needs may favor a point guard, leaving Oladipo—viewed as a shooting guard—still waiting.
