[Baraheni] FVV: “I have a great relationship with those guys, Masai and Bobby, I grew up in Toronto… but again you got to understand a situation and know what’s going on in the organization… it was a time where it’s starting to go around Scottie, some of the younger guys…

Rest of the quote from Fred:
>and my value there wasn’t as great as it was in Houston… so there definitely wasn’t a lot of buttering up”
>Said Masai shot straight in free agency and they had good communication throughout the process.
We all know its because Houston over paid and the Raptors didnt want to match. The Rockets roster is way younger than the Raptors.
You looked after yourself and that’s fine. You were our point guard and vet, not the superstar and definitely not $40M player on this team. Happy you got paid but we don’t miss random 3s you shot with 34% success rate nor 39% fg in 2023.
We can appreciate him and Nurse for the championship without shitting on them constantly which this sub tends to do for some reason. These guys played a huge role for the only championship we have
FWIW, Houston was able to offer that because they needed to spend in order to get over the cap floor. That’s a big reason why Fred and Brooks got paid.
FVV era is over with and no one is mad at it realistically
When FVV is more willing to acknowledge this is Scottie’s team than the FO is
