Rockets GM Rafael Stone hopeful of Victor Oladipo staying long term

Houston general manager Rafael Stone said Tuesday he hopes recent trade acquisition Victor Oladipo could become a long-term fit with the Rockets.
Oladipo, who was acquired in the blockbuster James Harden trade, is in the final year of his contract at $21 million for this season.
Over his first three outings in Houston, Oladipo is averaging 22.3 points, 6.0 assists, 4.0 rebounds and 2.0 steals in 33.0 minutes per game.
Here’s what Stone told SportsTalk 790 host Sean Salisbury, who asked whether the two-time All-Star would be sticking around long term.
I hope so. We’ve had a lot of conversations. He’s been a great addition, not just on the court, but off the court. A really, really good guy. In our talks with Vic, it’s more, let’s get to know each other. Hopefully, this is a wonderful marriage, Rafael Stone told SportsTalk 790.
Again, his first practice with the team was yesterday. I think he really enjoys his teammates and his coaches. I know he and coach Silas are going to spend some time today looking at film, Rafael Stone told SportsTalk 790.
We’re trying to build. So, I very much hope so — that’s what I would say, Rafael Stone told SportsTalk 790
