There was even a report that circulated this week which detailed how Oladipo was asking teams to trade for him, in front of his own teammates.
Now, Oladipo is coming out to speak on these reports as he attempts to fan the flames. In a new article from The Athletic, Oladipo talked about the Pacers and how he remains committed to the franchise. In fact, Oladipo made sure to refute the reports of him asking for trades, stating that he loves his teammates and wants to continue building with them.
