The Feb. 9 NBA trade deadline is drawing nearer by the day, and Toronto Raptors point guard Fred VanVleet is a sweet sounding name on the market to potential suitors like the Minnesota Timberwolves.
Eric Pincus of Bleacher Report spoke glaringly about VanVleet’s contract situation and the potentiality for a deal to be made featuring the 2022 NBA All-Star:
“Either the Raptors and VanVleet will extend their marriage, or the team will look to get value for him in a trade before the deadline,” Pincus pointed out. “If it’s the latter, several playoff contenders (at least teams that consider themselves playoff contenders) would have interest, such as the Miami Heat, Los Angeles Lakers, Los Angeles Clippers, Minnesota Timberwolves, Dallas Mavericks, Phoenix Suns and Washington Wizards.
