I think a one year deal similar to what Burks or Noel got last year probably makes sense, and if Oladipo lives up to the deal he gets a good contact like those two just got

Don't think he's even returning this year. It would have to be two-year deal just to see him on the court for an extended period of time.

Where did you think we would be? Who did you expect us to sign ?

This.

He’s just a catch and shoot guy now. He can’t create his own shot or cut to the basket like he used to. Big contract. Not a pg. pass

Most incentives would still count against the cap. So you either lock yourself up for 3-4 years at a rate that might be elevated for cap purposes (but you actually spend less if he underachieves). Or temporarily rent him on a heavily discounted shorter term contract knowing that would bolt for a team that can offer him more if he makes it back to All-Star form.

I think at this point 2 yrs guaranteed would be a good deal for him given his injuries. Maybe we can go 2 yrs with a 3rd year player option. If he's good he opts out, but he's here in this 2 year veteran window we've created. Would be fine with something like that as a kind of a wild card with the remaining cap space, especially if nothing else works out for the next week or two. I think Oladipo is gonna be on the market for a bit given his injuries as team wills be tentative about making him an offer.
