Remember when Victor Oladipo was considered “overpaid”? And the Indiana Pacers were getting a bad contract from the Oklahoma City Thunder? Good times, good times…

There are no more lede’s to write about Victor Oladipo. Talking about “the trade” is trite, talking about Paul George is petty, and recapping Vic’s season has been done time and time again.

Vic is prepping for year two in Indiana, and he apparently wants to be better than he was in year one, which is almost hard to believe. Given his and the team’s accolades in the first year of the Oladipo era, seeing improvement would be incredible for fans of the Pacers.

But beyond the court, Oladipo helps the Pacers in other ways too. His contract is a steal given how talented he is, and it gives the team cap space to add other skillful players. Let’s take a look at this deal and how exactly it helps the team.
