He was announced at the start after a season that was not totally white, but very light grey, in the end Victor Oladipo decided to stay under the Florida sun for the next season. A short contract that will allow him to show what he is worth when he is on his two legs, in a team still a candidate for the title and coming out of a conference final.
If the path of an NBA season was a road, then Totor Oladipo’s last year was littered with potholes and ruts. Only eight regular season games played for 12.4 points, 2.9 rebounds and 3.5 assists average, but it was especially during the Playoffs that the back was able to come back to say hello. 15 games played at 10.6 points, 3.4 rebounds and 2.1 assists per game but at percentages of mason… however his offensive talent and his defensive aggressiveness remain assets that he frequently puts to use in the rotation of the Heat, at least when he is in good health. That’s enough to convince Erik Spoelstra to renew his confidence in him, at least for the next season, since the former Magic, Thunder, Pacers and Rockets (just a little bit) signed a one-year contract and 11 millions of dollars.
Free agent Victor Oladipo has agreed to a one-year, $11 million deal to return to the Miami Heat, sources tell @TheAthletic @Stadium.

Oladipo is not the only player to extend at the Heat, nor even the only former Magic player to extend at the Heat, since the old veteran Dewayne Dedmon has also decided to return for a season. The pivot will receive $ 9 million. 20 million invested for two pure soldiers of the second unit of Erik Spoelstra, it does not look like a bad deal, doesn’t it? With the departure of PJ Tucker from the Sixers, the Heat needed to keep their complementary players who now know the house well and who can play elbows. It is therefore the Wizards, Nuggets, Pistons and Bulls who see one of their targets close.
Victor Oladipo who stays in Miami, few people had imagined this one. The back seemed more than ever on the start, but in the end, Vico the chips decided to prolong the fun in Miami, just like Dewayne Dedmon. While waiting for the multiverse that Kevin Durant’s transfer request should shortly generate, these two re-signings represent great moves for the Heat, regardless of whether they are used on the field or as a bargaining chip in the future. close.
