    Oklahoma City Thunder and guard Victor Oladipo have reached an agreement on a four-year, $84 million contract extension, according to The Vertical's Shams Charania. Oladipo, acquired from the Orlando Magic in the trade that also involved big man Serge Ibaka and rookie Domantas Sabonis last June, is a huge part of the Thunder's future as they try to redefine themselves in the post-Kevin Durant era.

    For Oladipo, the No. 2 pick in the 2013 NBA Draft, this is a nice bit of security and it eliminates the uncertainty of restricted free agency. It's also more money on a per-season basis than former teammate Evan Fournier got -- the Magic signed him to a five-year, $85 million deal last summer.

    For Oklahoma City, this seems like a home run. If Oladipo plays as well as the front office hopes he will, he could have commanded a maximum contract next summer. That would have been bad news for the Thunder, who are also reportedly close to a four-year, $100 million deal with center Steven Adams and want to preserve at least a little bit of flexibility going forward.
