The most I'll give Fred is $27 million.
VANVLEET WILL SIGN A LONG TERM CONTRACT WITH RAPTORS 💯💯
This is a good news for the Raptors. Let Magic offer big money for Fred so Masai can just move on from him.
I want to see Scottie play more point… Scottie, Siakam, Jacob (hopefully he stays), maybe GTJ.. and OG (or whoever).
If Jacob continues to put up 12-15 point a game with 10+ rebounds/deflections, this is a solid core. It is easier to find shooting guard, so if GTJ doesn't want to stay, oh well.
OG hasn’t played more than 69 games since 2019 season. Last few years forty something games each year. Probably why Toronto is looking to move him. A very talented player but misses a lot of games.
Fvv should come from the bench
Sign and trade for Banchero and Bol.
Nope! He doesn't deserve "The Bag". His defense is super suspect. I don't care if the market is weak for point guards. If you overpay for fred now, you risk not being able to extend more important players like Pascal or Scottie in the future.
The magic have not offered Fred any money
As that would cost them a draft pick for tampering.
Yes let Fred go but not getting anything for him is crazy.. A sign and trade if available will be good
Hoe can you say defense is an issue when the guy is bottom tier in efficiency and shooting?
Stats don't matter. When Fred goes to Orlando, Franz's numbers will go down, Scottie's will go up. Simple as that.
Trade Scotty Barnes
Poeltl needs to start every game. Don’t be ridiculous
I appreciate what Fred has done for this team but his time is up.
C’mon man it’s obvious who will and should be the starting line up. Starting lineup will be Pascal Siakam, Jakob Poeltl, OG Anunoby, Scottie Barnes and Fred VanVleet. Gary Trent Precious Achiuwa Chris Boucher coming off the bench look like another starting lineup to me.
Fred Barnes OG Siakam Jakob
FVV, it's been nice and all the best! If you really rock with us then run the sign&trade with Orlando for Young pieces that most likely won't get an opportunity and Orlando can fill out those spots with vets, rookies, etc!
Unless we have a replacement lined up, id rather overpay him a little than let him walk. When scotties shot gets good enough, its him, but until then fred is an asset.
Pascal shakeem LOL LOL LMFAS
The starting line up should look like this Fred, Scottie, og, Pascal, Yak
The starting line up should vary pending I. The match up. The way we close games should change pending on the match up to.
The Siakam pronunciation is not that bad of a guess.
ia usually makes that sound after an s sound
Glacial
Initial
Partial
Crucial
Let him walk ffs. He’s absolutely not worth it, I say build around Scottie, Pascal, OG and Poertl. Also Franz has a 24 usage rate vs Scottie’s 20.
Let him take his hero ball to Orlando
I agree with most that the Raptors should move on from FVV this summer . He has served the Raptors well but he is not worth a 4 yr commitment at $130 Million. Scottie can grow into that PG role. The draft might pinpoint another PG or a trade of O.G. (which I don't want to see happen) but he should bring back a quality PG. The Raptors need lower cost contributors (shooters in that 6'9" vision) to keep them under the salary cap. How does Gabe Brown look this year?
Who are the pg available this off season in free agency? Or we trade OG for a good point guard and let fvv walk if he’s too expensive
THATS GREAT FOR FREDDY THEY CAN HAVE HIM LOL
How r they offering him mad $ unless theyre tampering?
Pascal shakeem olujuwan😂😂😂
LET FRED GO. OUR FUTURE
ARE YOUNG TALENTED PLAYERS 👍😎😁❤️💗💞
I just wanted to point out from my end made me laugh.. the auto generated closed captions took Jakob Poetl's name as Yaka Poodle.. can't be unseen now… Hopefully the Raps still dominate for the final push! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I've been keep Fred and Gary to go cause I thought Gary would want to leave, but now everything is reverse. It looks like Fred may want too much $$$, and Gary may want to stay. Either way, one of them has to stay cause we need guards. This team will be shaken up in the off-season. The draft doesn't look as good as last year to me, so there is slim pickings for guards and any talent this year. People online say this year is better but I don't see it but than again I'm usually slow to see the style change.
Og always hurt…
@benrogers might be a possible sign and trade with magic. fred vanvleet gets 30 million, and trades to magic for depending on if they want to move on from fultz. magic get fred vanvleet, toronto raptors get jonathan isaac and markez fultz and magic 2023 top 5 protected pick., or couldd be gary harris and jonathan isaac and magic 2023 top 5 protected pick or the bulls 2023 pick they have.
If they did that draft over again, it would clearly be Scottie & Mobley 1 & 2, many would take Barnes with the 1, but some would take Mobley. Cade, would drop a lot, and not even be a 3rd pick. Wagner, is a non athletic good offensive player, who can't defend. He is not in the class of Barnes/Mobley. I think Murphy III would go top 6.
I can't enter the contest, because my screen shot function on my computer is broken.
If they sign fred over 30m Ill stop watching
