Someone needs to explain the Oladipo situation which is the biggest mystery of our time. It seems like most fans and media believe he is total trash.
It also seems like most GM's do not value even an Oladipo rental or having his bird rights enough to give anything, even a 2nd round pick. Part of this could have been the fact that it appeared he was Miami-bound for some time.
Okay so here is the mystery part. Oladipo not that long ago turned down a 2 year $45 million dollar extension. He (and his agent) obviously believe he is due a star-ish type contract or somewhere in the neighborhood (20s, if not max). We all know Houston looks stupid for trading for Dipo to begin with.
Is he going to look stupid this offseason if he doesn't play lights out for Miami? Like what are the current odds of Oladipo getting a contract that starts at 20 mil+ a season?
The second part of the mystery surrounding this situation is that Miami has a smart front office. Ya my they see this as a flier but if they thought he was trash they would have gone a different direction.
