    I can’t wait until the FVV content slows down for our beat writers🙏🏾

    Doug’s gotta get off his dick and get on the new one

    Beat writers are sad Masai didn’t pay $45m so they can continue getting a good quote post game

    Pascal is starting to get on my nerves as well by forcing toronto to keep him. In my eyes both these guys don’t give a fuck about the team and just want the bag.

  7. mentioning FVV for the clickbait but there’s surprisingly not much there at all. Maybe that was the charm of a FVV; a polarizing figure and these sports writers got clicks out of the drama.

    Take that out of the equation and there’s literally nothing to talk about; they burned the bridge with the young guys so I am sure they are getting minimal access now.

    I never had a problem with FVV always liked as a player and I wish he stayed. I just think similar to the Peter Principle Fred has pushed himself into a contract he will not be able to live up to. He is not that level of player and it will result in unhappiness for both sides.

    Q: Like many fans I was crushed when Fred VanVleet signed with Houston. Who could blame him $130 million (U.S.) is a lot of money.

    When I read his farewell message my heart sank when I read his comment “Fan favourite to most hated.” Did he really think that was true? His performance was choppy last season and the haters did come out but why even mention that? I know that you’re not a mind reader but that comment stung as a loyal fan.

    By the way, I think Norman Powell had the best goodbye message to Raptors fans ever. Can we get Norm back?
    Happy summer!

    A: I think he was reacting the way he often reacts, tweaking the (too) many people who simply could not understand how good he was here or how important he was to the franchise.
    It’s their loss.
    And I’m sure he didn’t mean to sting the folks who knew.
    I can’t see Norm coming back, unfortunately.

    Who cares about FVV anymore. He gone.

    I’ve decided to stop clicking on Doug Smith articles.

    I highly recommend others to do the same.
