Victor Oladipo Exposes Truths About $160 Million Offer from Pacers

Oladipo Admits Truth About Pacers' Offer

Victor Oladipo, the former Indiana Pacers star, has broken his silence about a rumored $160 million contract offer from the team. In a recent interview, Oladipo revealed the truth behind the offer and his decision to leave the Pacers.

Oladipo, who was traded to the Houston Rockets in January 2021, admitted that the Pacers did offer him a contract extension worth $160 million over four years. However, he explained that the offer was not as lucrative as it seemed.

Pacers' Offer Had Incentives

Oladipo revealed that the $160 million offer was not fully guaranteed. Instead, a significant portion of the money was tied to performance-based incentives.

According to Oladipo, the incentives were based on factors such as All-Star selections, All-NBA team selections, and individual statistical achievements. He explained that meeting all of the incentives was highly unlikely, which would have reduced the actual value of the contract.

Oladipo Prioritized Championship Contention

In addition to the financial considerations, Oladipo also stated that he prioritized championship contention over money. He believed that the Pacers were not ready to compete for a title and that he needed to move on to a team with higher aspirations.

Oladipo expressed gratitude for his time in Indiana but emphasized that his ultimate goal was to win an NBA championship.

Pacers Seek Fresh Start

With Oladipo's departure, the Pacers are entering a new era. The team has acquired several young players and is focused on rebuilding its roster.

Pacers President of Basketball Operations Kevin Pritchard stated that the team is excited about the future and believes that the young players have the potential to lead the Pacers back to the playoffs.
