Dipo is going to be motivated to cash in. Even after returning from injury he was still an efficient PnR playmaker and had flashes of all NBA defenses.
I understand the concern of him never being back to what he was, but if he costs you only Wright+Jackson and a pick then I don't know why people are scared. Even THJ. Wright+Jackson were non-factors in the playoffs, and were barely positive contributors during the regular season, we're not losing anything on that front.
THJ WAS a fantastic regular season contributor. He was integral to our historic offense. But come playoffs, he became erratic and his shooting percentages dropped like a rock (39.8%-> 35.2%) while taking even more attempts (7.2->9.0). Who's to say that THJ peaked last season, and he'll be back to his normal 35% self (5 seasons prior 34.3% from 3)?
I think we're starting to overrate THJ. And underrate Oladipo.
