Dudes that actually watch him play know he’s not a player that plays winning basketball

Warriors looked better without him, Suns looked better without him

he needs to go somewhere obscure like the cavs and be trash there
It's wild cause he had a few stretches during the year where it looked like he was figuring it out. He was cutting more, making plays on defense, actually knowing when and where to set screens and pass Curry the ball. Then he had an injury and came back and seemed like he forgot it all and went back into playing selfish low IQ ball again.

Dude is not good, he plays like a chicken with its head cut off, cant shoot, handles are meh...what are his skills?

He's an energy guy off the bench....

Outside of Truth, Kansas wings rarely amount to shyt in this league

Acquired to best fill the hole that Klay Thompson left for the second straight season, Oubre started off ice cold. He never exactly seemed like a perfect fit, looking lost at times as he tried to figure out his role. His numbers took a big dip, too.

Oubre increased his points per game every season his first five years in the league. In Steve Kerr's offense, Oubre went from 18.7 points per game a season ago for the Phoenix Suns, down to 15.4. He also averaged fewer rebounds and assists, as well as shooting just 31.6 percent from 3-point range.

Near the end of the season, Oubre already began being asked about a possible bench role if he returns to the Warriors over the offseason as a free agent. Coach Steve Kerr even suggested it's more than likely Oubre would turn into a Sixth Man with Klay Thompson back in the fold.

Ahead of free agency, Oubre doesn't sound too pleased.

"I don't even want to speak and elaborate on much on that situation," Oubre said to Chris Haynes on the latest Posted Up podcast. "But all I'll tell you is that it put fire in my heart. It added more fuel to the fire.

"Being 25 years old, the way that my career has been shaping out, the growth that I've shown in my career to go from the 15th pick to continuously have my numbers grow each and every year and my role and opportunity on the team to grow each and every year to have a year where my opportunity is lessened, and then as the year goes on I'm put into this category of trying to shape out the future of the organization when I haven't been given a fair opportunity to show what I can do on a large scale -- yeah, it is unfair.

"But all I could do was go do my job and play. Keep focused and be professional. I was just worried about playing basketball for the team, and now I'm blessed to be an unrestricted free agent." Oubre: Kerr's bench comments 'added more fuel to the fire'
WE need oubre back in DC

Idk what happened to dude's game. He had a solid season with PHX, then looked like total buns with GSW.
He’ll put up numbers, but if u watch him, he’s very selfish, low IQ, ball stopper, etc

he just doesn’t contribute to winning BBall

He is from New Orleans I think, so hopefully we can sign and trade him and get Lonzo
