As trade rumors begin to heat up with training camp around the corner<\/a>, one name that has stood out is the veteran forward, Kelly Oubre Jr.<\/a><\/p>\n

Just as the rumors are coming to life, Oubre put out a statement, stating he doesn\u2019t feel the love from the team\u2019s fan base anymore.<\/p>\n

And for those saying I\u2019m garbage because my 3% went down. $till put up numbers and I\u2019d $till cook you. I played through finger surgeries on my (left hand) thumb and pinky for three years, but $till put my soul into this [expletive]. That\u2019s the one thing only GOD can take from me. Hope to see ya\u2019ll $oon. Godspeed.”<\/p>\n

The Sixers likely aren\u2019t feeling the pressure to move Oubre based on his feelings toward the fan base. Although he seems turned off by the recent social activity he\u2019s witnessed, Oubre made it clear that he\u2019ll see the fans soon.<\/p>\n

The veteran signed with the Sixers in 2023. At the time, he wrapped up a two-year deal with the Charlotte Hornets. The Sixers signed Oubre for one season on the veteran\u2019s minimum. <\/p>\n

In his first season with the Sixers, Oubre appeared in 68 games, starting 52 matchups. He produced 15.4 points per game, 5 rebounds, and 1.5 assists. Oubre shot 44 percent from the field and 29 percent from three. <\/p>\n

In the playoffs, Oubre had his best postseason showing as a starter for the first time. In six games against the New York Knicks, Oubre posted averages of 13.2 points, 4 rebounds, 1.7 assists, and 1.8 steals. He made 39 percent of his threes.<\/p>\n

When Oubre hit the open market last year, he signed a two-year deal with the 76ers. Amid a rough season for the entire team, Oubre appeared in 60 games. He averaged 15.1 points, 6.1 rebounds, and 1.5 steals As Oubre stated, his three-point percentage dipped to 29. However, he shot a career-high 47 percent from the field.<\/p>\n

At this point, Oubre will be a name to monitor on the open market for teams interested in an athletic two-way wing. He\u2019s set to make $8.3 million for the 2025-2026 NBA season. The veteran is someone to closely monitor, as it seems he is growing sour on his situation. <\/p>\n
