In Episode 1415, Sean Woodley is joined by Katie Heindl (DIME, Basketball Feelings) to take stock of Fred VanVleet’s pending free agency, whether the Toronto Raptors are likely to keep him, and which teams they’d like to see Fred play for in the event he leaves in July. Off the top, they grade their level of concern over the murky Raptors’ offseason situation and the possibility that VanVleet could leave for nothing. Does the lack of any movement on the coaching front play into the fanbase-wide tension and uneasiness? Is it worth buying into the Raptors track record of keeping their own guys in order to ease your anxieties? Next, Sean and Katie discuss the reasons why the Raptors simply cannot afford to lose VanVleet. Even if you don’t love him as a basketball player, it’s better for the team going forward to retain him. Full stop. Not to mention, it’s a really good thing to have a point guard on your roster!!! Lastly, they examine some possible VanVleet destinations that wouldn’t crush their souls. Could he be a fun veteran leader for Victor Wembanyama and the San Antonio Spurs? Or a compliment to Kevin Durant and Devon Booker with the Phoenix Suns? Basically, anywhere but Philly, right?
