Bad move by Vic.
But, per CBS....
Oladipo is perhaps the biggest name player to opt out thus far, and his case is a puzzling one. On one hand, he would have been more than capable of making a huge difference in the Pacers' postseason. On the other hand, the evidence over the course of his 13 games with the team suggested he's still far from being the All-Star fans have come to know and love in Indiana. Oladipo was clearly improving, but the Pacers were worse with him on the court and there's no telling whether he would have improved enough by the start of the playoffs to make a significant impact. Unfortunately, we won't get the chance to find out, and the Pacers -- already thin in the backcourt after the loss of Jeremy Lamb -- will have to lean on Justin Holiday and Doug McDermott to fill those wing minutes, with players like T.J. McConnell, Aaron Holiday and Edmond Sumner likely getting more run.
