    I was really surprised that the Suns did not go harder after FVV.

    Well I'm happy. He's expiring the same time as Lowry/Ibaka and maybe DD. Guessing Masai told him he's gonna get paid if he keeps proving himself.

    Fred VanVleet Could Command $25M-$30M Per Season In Free Agency

    Fred VanVleet projects to be one of the NBA's most coveted unrestricted free agents during the 2020 offseason.

    "One team told me last week that they think he's going to get between $25 million and $30 million per season," said Bobby Marks on The Brian Windhorst & The Hoop Collective Podcast.

    VanVleet re-signed with the Toronto Raptors in 2018 on a two-year, $18 million deal. Toronto signed Kyle Lowry to a one-year, $31 million extension through 20-21 before the start of the 19-20 season.

    VanVleet went undrafted out of Wichita State in 2016.

    I think he's a phenomenal player but looking at the numbers for next summer I don't see any team being able to afford to sign him to $20 mil per. The teams that look like they MIGHT have capspace and are in need of a starting PG are:

    Knicks
    Raptors

    The remaining teams (Wizards, Blazers, Suns, Pelicans, Hornets, Cavs, Grizzlies, Hawks) are either committed to a starting PG already or can't sign him because they shot themselves in the foot with a bad signing (Wall, Rubio, Rozier).

    Of course you can never rule out a S&T but who wants to get fleeced by Masai next summer.

    I do agree that he's definitely worth the $20 mil a year though.

    25-30m for a role player is not smart

    FVV is a playoff/finals proven player. I could see one of the YOUNG teams willing to pay for him, Atlanta, Memphis, Charlotte will have money.

    Damn, crazy money, but he’s gold. I hope he stays though. I’d keep him over Lowry and would trade Kyle if that means FVV stays since starting is guaranteed.
