On January 29, Beijing time, the 2021-22 NBA regular season is in full swing. In last year's offseason, Oubre left the Warriors, and he made a deal with the Hornets as a free agent, joining the Hornets on a contract of more than $26 million for 2 years, which is still constantly mentioned by fans and the media to this day.
Earlier today, Oubre's father posted his views on the matter, writing: "I don't have any good impression of the malicious comments from the Bay Area, and this team has no long-term plans for my son at all. This was already evident at the end of last season. My son played most of last season with a broken wrist injury, but that was never mentioned. ”
The elder Oubre continued: "He loved his teammates when he was with the Warriors, just as he loves the Hornets teammates now. He is now happy that the coach can tell him verbatim what to do, because the coach wants him not only to play, but also to maintain his professionalism in the face of adversity. And he has the ability to lead the team, and at the same time he can follow the leadership of others. ”
It is worth mentioning that for the old Oubre's words, Warriors coach Kerr was surprised, but he thought it was best not to respond.
In last season, Oubre played in 55 games for the Warriors, averaging 15.4 points, 6 rebounds and 1.3 assists per game, shooting 43.9 percent from the field and 31.6 percent from three-point range. During the season, Oubre averaged 28 minutes per game and averaged 16.7 points, 4 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 1.2 steals, shooting 45.5% from the field and 37.1% from three-point range. When the Hornets challenged the Warriors on the road, Oubre was booed by some Warriors fans.
