[woj] ESPN Sources: In the first major domino of free agency, Toronto Raptors All-Star guard Fred VanVleet has declined his $22.8 million player option and will become an unrestricted free agent in Ju
FVV was such a loveable underdog with Kyle Lowry around. Since his departure it just hasn't been the same. I wish him the best, but looking forward to a new direction.
Teams with cap space that can sign him are the Rockets and Magic. The rumours of him going to the Sixers require more cap maneuvering (i.e. a S+T). I don't know how much he actually cares about winning, rather he wants his bag (and I say this as a Raptors fan).
Maybe the best situation for him is Orlando. They could be a play-in team as soon as next year, and they have lots of cheap talent on the roster so they can pay FVV the money he wants.
Are the rockets really one James harden away from competing? Had to be Harden negotiating tactic. Only way I see FVV at either of those teams is if he just wants a bag like you said
I'd love to see him play somewhere more competitive.

Not surprised by this. Worried that Masai and Bobby will try to retain him at a higher AAV rather than sign and trade him. We need to rebuild.

Glad this guys not on my team anymore
Yeah he's really annoying. I'd be relieved too if I was a Raptors fan.
Good luck to the team that signs him. He's good, but he needs to be the 3rd or 4th best player on a team with championship aspirations
Here we go fellas. Any favs for the FVV sweepstakes?

Rockets: we want James Harden Rafael Stone: we have James Harden at home
James Harden at home: FVV
FVV wants 30MM. If you're choosing between FVV @ 30MM or Harden @ 40MM, it's a real discussion. That's almost a full MLE player.

I just hope it doesn't interfere with attempts to trade beal.
as a Raps fan well that sucks
I'd love to see him play somewhere more competitive.
