    How many years? 4? Thats like 28 million a year for 4 years if so… thats a massive payday. Bet On Yourself in full effect now!

    Fred “Dennis “Bet On Yourself” Schröder” VanVleet

    Thank you Fred. You just saved MLSE 100ms

  4. Legitimate-Row7081

    damn looks like he is following the dennis schroder special

  5. RZAAMRIINF

    Thank you Freddie for saving this franchise from itself.

    This is where loyalty takes a back seat……bye bye Fred thanks for the memories.

    When “Betting on Yourself” goes wrong

  8. that’s honestly so stupid, especially as an undrafted player of all things. you take the money as insurance. man really thought that because he was going to work on his body in the off-season that he would have an even better season this year?! he really took that bet on yourself thing too far.

    Absolutely overestimate himself, but lucky Raptors, saved such an overpriced contract.

  11. Excellent-Success547

    He is probably betting on having a kid in the second half of the season.

    If you arent a superstar just take the money.

  13. Ahhh. I see. That’s where the weird vibes are probably coming from.

  14. Triple_deke87

    If he’s betting on himself, I’ll take that bet any day.

    Mistake. This is what happens you take it for granted that you play in Toronto where we have to hand out bad contracts to get people to stay.

    He’s not getting that money anywhere else. He can either come back to the table and negotiate a lower offer or we can ship him elsewhere now.

    Would this have been over 3 or 4 years?

  17. Etobocoke

    I think Fred wants out. He is over played and under appreciated. To make matters worse is the coach is bending over backwards to accommodate Scottie and this is diminishing Fred’s role. What would you think if it was your job and work pulled this on you?

    I guess trent jr is getting his bag first then

  19. n3moh0es

    dude not even worth 20M at this point. on other teams he’s not averaging 40 mins a game and he would prolly average like 12 points lol

  20. RupertPsmithy

    I’m still not convinced with how he is playing he can opt out.

  21. MyBallsWasHot

    No wonder he’s been hard on himself, the dude is/already did fumble a major bag

  22. Silent_Leg1976

    I respect him for sticking to his mantra.

  23. Comrade_agent

    Wonder if he’s betting against himself🤔

  24. hypespud

    Now we know why freddie is so mad and going on podcasts blaming the rest of the team for it’s failures

  25. Toast2Carnage

    He really does care about us. Saving us millions potentially and sinking someone else’s cap space. A true hero
