The western conference seem to have the best suited teams for him
He was the 6th worst starting shooter who scored at least 200 points last season. As a Raptors fan we had poor chemistry and we played selfish and Nurse and Fred were 80% responsible. I hope he doesn’t come back. Mr Bet on Himself is jealous of Scottie Barnes. He can drive into traffic and fall down trying to lay up over 2-3 guys taller than him on some other team. Fred is good and was great his whole career except last season. This is Barnes team now and if Fred can’t take it good bye. I don’t even care is we get nothing for him. Him leaving is a big win for the Raptors as our chemistry will get better over night.
Bro is a DECENT 3rd option he should’ve accepted that option lol
Not a efficient shooter at all he needs to know his place Minnesota can use him Phoenix also a backup PGl sixth man which a very useful piece to a contending team depth matters
trade him for poole, perfect
JESUS IS GOD
Darko said no one is holding the ball for more than 0.5 seconds and FVV declines his option 🤣
C'mon to the Spurs FVV! For the right price of course. 4/60
Going to the spurs
Lakers will pick him up cuz he dating Kim kardashian. WATCH!! Lakers making a mistake tho if they do
Bulls
As a raptors fan glad Fred leaving because now Barnes will have the ball more in his hands
Bring him home 👨 come on back to the city CHI-TOWN
Even just let him walk we are already a winner. Let other teams be stupid to sign a selfish 39% FG undersized guard.
Wow! I'm so surprised! 😅
Blessing in disguise for the Raps. He’s been terrible and entitled since that ring.
VAn fleet to the suns would be deadly
toronto must be pretty happy lol
Whomever is trading for him is overpaying
He's sixers bound because he wants to play with maxey and embiid under nick nurse. If he's the best the sixers can do after moving from harden I won't complain
Fred is same market as Brunson and Brunson better player so I don’t see him more then what Knicks paid for Brunson
Bring him to Chicago pair him with DeMar ! 🔥
15 mill per year 3 years for a role player.
Fred is a fine player but I wouldn't overpay for him. He's not a difference maker that justifies a huge salary.
Lakers new PG 😂
Chucker.
Woj butchered his surname.
Thats a good amount of money to refuse for his caliber.
