  1. I hope Fred stays but this should be a big reality check for him. His hero ball really affected us this season. Yes he’s one of the best we have but his inability to set up the best play during crunch time is destroying this team. We play so much better when we share the ball. He needs to stay off social media he clearly cares what people think which is throwing off his basketball IQ. Hopefully next year will be better.

  2. Orlando has really nice weather Fred. You'll love it there. I also heard chicago needs a PG

  3. Fred, I wish you all the best man. We had a good run with you out here. The chip and Allstar nod was definitely much deserved and no one can ever take that away from you. This season though has been a different deal. I've had the time to reflect as a true fan and hope you understand when I say, we need a change. What that looks like only time will tell. #Raptors #WeTheNorth #Salute 💯

  4. Raptors relying heavily on iso ball with mediocre players. That style of basketball is better suited for teams with superstars and guys that are clutch. Neither FVV or Pascal has that clutch gene. I hope the Raptors cut these guys loose and use the cap space to fill the many voids this team has.

  5. BYE BYE Fred. Thank you for your service. And I wish the best with your new team and team mates. Hope you get one of those Marcus Smart players who wouldn't hesitate to call you out as he did with Tatum and Brown when they were holding the damn ball.
    It wasn't 100% your fault. You had a daddy called Nick Nurse who wanted you to have the bag.
    It didn't work. you're terrible at, first, as a team mate, and second as a shooter, and w/o forgetting all the games guards in the opposing teams blow you by. TERRIBLE.
    Here's your hat and your coat. Please, don't let that back door hit you on your way out. Bye Fred BumVleet.

  6. Doug Smith itching to point a finger at someone for the team's lacklustre year.

  7. I appreciate everything you’ve done and for this city. Bringing a chip to the city. But it’s time to go.

  8. People are so ungrateful, man. As if all-star guards grow on trees. Yeah the man has his flaws (his biggest one being that sometimes it feels like he doesn't know his flaws), but he was so much better with Jakob in the lineup and I feel like people are letting early season frustrations get the better of them. Unless you're Steph Curry, a short point guard needs a good big to function well, and when Fred got that, his game stabilized.

    And let's not forget about the fact that the man has no backup. Just put yourself in his shoes. The opposing guards can key in on you, knowing they won't have any other guard (maybe with a quicker guard with a different style) that they'll have to switch it up for. Never mind the fatigue and nagging injuries that comes with playing so much.

    All of that's to say, could he have been better? Of course! Could we get a better point guard to replace him with? No, not really. So unless we're really bottoming out and trading everyone for young guys and picks, we'll still need a point guard to run relatively competitive team and we have no real path at getting one better than Fred.

  9. This guy is shameless. Who is getting the big bucks ? Go back to G league that where you belong.

  10. don't give him more than Jalen Brunson got last year 4 years 104 millions let Fred walk if he ask for more fuck this team can't even make the playoffs

  11. Fred, we will never forget what you did against the Bucks & Warriors. We love you and wish you well wherever your career continues.

  12. CAN SOMEONE FIGURE OUT HOW TO MIC THESE REPORTERS UP, all season with this shit

  13. People trying to fell sorry for this man who made $23M this year………what a joke. Dads and moms going out every day trying to see how they're gonna feed their family and people feeling sorry for BumVleet…..Get the hell out…..!!!
