Prior to the start of the season, VanVleet turned down a contract extension valued at roughly $114 million, the maximum Toronto could offer at the time, according to a source.
THANK THE HEAVENS THIS GUY BETTED ON HIMSELF LOL

Fred really must have some good relations regarding our team’s media

“Committing that much long-term money, or more, to an undersized guard who has accumulated a ton of miles, battled injuries and will turn 29 next month isn’t a no-brainer. Masai Ujiri and Bobby Webster have both spoken openly about their intention to keep VanVleet in Toronto beyond this season. Despite the team’s recent setback and the re-evaluation process its prompted among the front office, there’s no indication that their stance on VanVleet has changed.”
Masai and Bobby are truly washed if this is true.

Between this and his 4/5 of the starters tweet, Josh is shameless in protecting FVV. Maybe they’re just trying to preserve his trade value but still

Tbh the fo did fail him, Masai basically said he admired FVVs and pascals work ethic and that he would go to war with them but the fo really hasn’t done anything to prove that. Haven’t put them in positions to succeed at all. Not building up a bench that can play some minutes is just making all our guys play bad pascal didn’t have any juice left yesterday.

If this man is still on this team past the trade deadline, or even worse, they give him another contract, I’m going to find myself watching even less games than I did so far this season.

Fred’s got Putin levels of investment into propaganda

If Fred actually turned down that money it’s the biggest mistake he’ll ever make. The org dodged a serious bullet tho.

The headline is insane, Raptors media is trash lmfao

I mean he probably Is tired, playing high minutes in a energy heavy defensive system can’t be easy. Maybe we should rest him a couple games, Our record without him is better than with.

He actually makes some pretty decent points. I always just go back to the Lowry days when he couldn’t hit the broadside of a barn year after year after year in the playoffs until really game 6 in 2019. Yeah, we consider him the GROAT. We are a very fickle Fanbase.

Honestly the front office may want this out there. What leverage do they have in a trade scenario if everyone thinks they no longer value Fred and have no intention to retain him.

That is a BOLD title lmao

Did Fred promise Josh some $ if the Raptors sign him to that 4yr/$130 million deal? That’s what this reads like.
n3moh0es
funny thing is he’s been the same level of player since 2020 LOL funny how narratives change everything. yes i know he’s percentages are down but his skillset has been the same he been ass. vanvleet tricked y’all man
ijustbrushalot
Did anyone actually read the article? I completely agree with it. The front office has failed Fred and Nick. They’re trying to win with what they have. The team is absolutely terrible when Fred sits.
I’m going to start saving threads like this to refer to the comments when Fred is back to normal, either on the team or not. The lack if perspective and focus on the recent here is insane.

I would not be surprised if Fred’s agency paid Josh to write this
Holy cope…
I Swear the media is just here to sabotage this team.
Pure delusion…. 4 years 130????
