Neither is going to sit there like Dipo and expect the max whether they deserve it or not (you need to make it clear to them that the Parsons/Wes/Barnes days are over). I will say that I'm starting to get a little bit of cold feet on Schroder given comments made today on the board that made some sense.
Oladipo is going to make 21mio next year. Porter 28.5mio. If Porter has his usual prime Wizards season he won´t sign for less. Oladipos max will be in the 35-37mio range. Oladipo has at least shown that he can be a max level player. Porter has basically always been what Oladipo was in Orlando. A high level role player.
Same for Schröder. He had one good season. That´s not enough to give Oladipo the benefit of the doubt but in Schröders case it is enough for a big contract? Why exactly is Schröder a better fit? Because he has one season with above average shooting numbers? Oladipo is a better spot up shooter and prior to his injury he also was a better defender.
I get that some people prefer a build through the draft approach but I really don´t get the inconsistent takes on potential trade targets or free agents. Fact is that all three have expiring contracts. They also have some undeniable flaws. That´s the reason why they might be available in the first place.
