Raptors president Masai Ujiri says that Fred VanVleet’s offseason departure was a good opportunity for the player but also potentially a positive development for the team.

This guy hasn't done SHIT since the Kawhi trade!!! 5 years and counting!
Finally their admitting what I always said
I can't believe they tried to keep him 😅
How can letting an All star walk for nothing be good? If he doesn't fit, fine, trade him.
He’s such a liar everyone knew he should’ve been traded and they paid the price for it. Keep throwing Pascal under the bus like you did today I promise you the same thing is going to happen
Dudes a joke. His perlt project in africa is clearly a detriment to his day job. Send hin to the doors.
I think an organization HAS to weigh carefully the risks of not being able to resign players which can be so damaging to the future of a club.
Nothing like media day aka not answering the Q and reading between the lines …
This should settle it. Fred was the selfish player. They had a play plan that wasn’t being executed. Out of respect for the player instead of trading Fred, issues/excuses were remedied by acquiring Poeltl. They played better but individual’s play was still selfish. It was best to let go and replace.
To be honest do you think Masai could have gotten a better trade than Schröder & McDaniels for a toxic Fred. Everyone knew what he was up to and why; except for fans because Fred used his media shills perfectly to cover his lies. Contract lies and being addressed by FO as selfish. Oh, it’s Scottie not me!😂
Bull crap!! Who cares about Fred's feelings and what he wanted. This is our Team you do what your suppose to do to make it better we pay the bills. So you basically let Fred wait and get his Big Pay Day somewhere else. Well bravo Masai Ujiri. This will hurt the team for a few years now.
There is a lot of exiting talent on this team and perhaps a "good" head coach will prove it. Van Vleet is very selfish as a shoot first point guard especially when the Raptor talent is up front. Despite his ridiculous payday, I don't think there was a big market for him. Of course that is just a guess. We can argue the merits for letting him go for nothing, but letting him go was absolutely the correct move. The new point guards combined with Malachi Flynn, will do a better job on this team than an overhyped and overplayed Van Vleet. Good luck to Fred, but I think the Rockets are going to be very disappointed.
It’s becoming more and more apparent that the fans called out the b.s., a long time ago.
No one could have predicted Fred would get 40mil a season. It’s not Masai who should be held accountable but he should have locked up Fred earlier if he wanted to keep him. He should do same with pascal and og else trade them asap
