The Toronto Raptors know that they need to come out swinging in free agency, as they have many key players currently in positions to bolt Canada for greener pastures elsewhere. Fred VanVleet, the team’s starting point guard and vocal leader, is among those players.
VanVleet has become one of the more radioactive names in basketball, as his defenders and enemies are as diametrically opposed as possible. Still, VanVleet is going to get one last payday, and the Orlando Magic might be the team willing to meet his admittedly high price.
ESPN’s Tim MacMahon hinted at the idea that VanVleet is going to get a ton of money thrown at him by Orlando in the offseason.
