[Koreen] If — if — VanVleet leaves and the Raptors have to turn to the MLE to get guard depth, here are some names I’d watch: Vincent, Jevon Carter, Schroder, Coby White (RFA), Seth Curry.

Which guard do you prefer most for the MLE?
I’d like Seth and Coby more than the favorite rn in Gabe
Disgusting list
I dont care I just need Vanbrick gone
Is Jevon Carter good or do I have low expectations?
Does anyone watch Seth? Is he still good or washed?
I like schroeder the most personally. Plays good defense and can score a bit. But none are great options. Time to rebuild/retool whatever.
> If FVV leaves Toronto as a FA, what tools do they have available to fill out the roster? Maybe to go after a player like Gabe Vincent?
1. NTMLE (4yr/$53.3M)
2. BAE (2yr/$9.3M)
3. Sign-&-Trades
4. Minimums
5. Bird Rights for their own FAs (J. Poeltl)

Regardless of how big of an overall downgrade it is (with regards to single player value), it would be fun to have Seth on the team. You need several elite shooters when your main dudes have a play style like Scottie and Pascal. I’d love to watch an offense with our point forwards + shooters
Oh yeah it’s all coming together
Give me Jevon Carter on a short deal as a bridge to a real solution.
Gabe is an overpay for a full 4 year MLE.
White could be a nice upside swing. Only 23, probably has some development left in him
Don’t want any of them. Trade Siakam and go into rebuild. Arena will still be sold out.
Meh I’d take a flyer on coby white
Looks like team anti FVV gets their wish
Vincent or Curry would be the most interesting options. Curry would pair very well with Scottie and Siakam
I would take Markquis Nowell over all of these guys if he was like 3 inches taller
Unless Scottie takes a giant leap there’s no way this team makes the play-in. No pick btw.
Coby white would be nice. Everyone talking about Vincent but white is 4 years younger and averaged 15/4/4.8 when he started two years ago
Gabe, Seth curry, Jevon, delon wright any one maybe even two of them with dowtin as well I am pretty ok with to be honest
This is going to be a work in progress but I’m happy that Scottie will get to play into his natural flexibility a lot more soon
Out of those options. Scottie and Siakam running the point with curry as a off ball guard would be the best scenario
NAW is also available
Isn’t Seth Curry more of an SG than PG? I think he’s a good player but not really what we need
Ill just give Flynn/Dowtin/Scottie the keys.
Vincent and maybe Schroeder are the only guys worthy of TPMLE.
Huge downgrade, but at least this will give more touches to Scottie & some of the other guys
Coby white might be something? But no way Chicago let’s him go when they won’t have Lonzo ball
I don’t think we can get Schroder or White but if we could that’d be preferred. I would take Jevon Carter out of the rest, he can really shoot it
Coby White would be a great pickup for the MLE. I’d think the Bulls match $12M but he’s worth the shot at 23 years old.
Not really a point guard but he can shoot the 3 and get to the rim, and he’s a good defender. He could fit well as a secondary creator playing off Barnes and Siakam.
If that falls through Carter would be 2 on my list, Vincent 3.
Run it with Jeff Dowtin, and Marquis Nowell, trade Flynn if FVV walks
Vincent or Seth it is. Schroeder isn’t a bad option either. It’s not a great list, but it’s not like we were going to be contenders with FVV anyways
Get me monte morris somehow
So if Fred is gone do we just play Scottie at PG?
PLEASE stop suggesting Seth Curry is the answer. The only thing good about him is that he has a brother who is a superstar.
Koreen has been very inaccurate with his information so I don’t really listen to him anymore.
I actually think our PG fix after FVV leaves will not come via free agency but rather an OG trade. this seems to be the most logical route given they didn’t flip him at the draft and there are a couple more highly-ranked PG’s that need to sort out their 2023-24 homes: Harden and Kyrie.
The free agent market for PG’s is quite frankly terrible. either 1B or second unit options, which doesn’t help us contend.
Some primary ballhandler options (as part of packages with other pieces) via teams that have expressed interest in OG
1-Orlando: Suggs or Fultz
2-Atlanta: Dejonte
3-Indiana: Nembhard (with Mathurian in package)
4-Philly: Maxey (depending on if their return for Harden brings in another PG…. Kyrie rumours here)
5- Detroit: Killian Hayes and/or Ivey
what are your thoughts? Trade or Free Agency?
I think Atlanta and Dejonte make the most enticing one, but Orlando can provide us with better assets overall.
