FVV is better, but not good enough to hardcap the team and lose the supporting pieces. Also gotta worry about the years ahead with him as a small guard approaches his 30s after playing heavy minutes.

I’m in the run it back camp despite all of our concerns with D’Lo, he’s quite capable of carrying the load on offense during the regular season, if he don't make strides on the defensive end, we can ship him mid season. Same squad deserves to run it back with a full training camp. Just need to add more size and depth behind AD.

Glad to see that the front office is willing to match any offer but I don't think other teams are going to drive the price up that high.

Doesn't really matter cause his starting salary is so low the next 2 seasons and who knows we could have clear books outside of him by the time the balloon money kicks in.

He ain’t 6-5
And what difference does that height make anyway when he’s unplayable in the playoffs?

Same core +Naz Reid would be a successful offseason

Head hunting.
It's one thing to be a bad defender and then its another thing to be too small.
FVV will be hunted on every possession come playoff time.

If we can run back the same rotation + Center & a 3 & D Wing we'll be in the finals next season.
I have faith in the scouting department to find a gem in the second round if we end up trading the 17th pick.

Schroder did decent and was pesky but lets be honest bigger guys still had their way with him.
FVV ain't half the defender that pat or DS are
don't get me wrong I like fred, he a great player...I just want taller guys on the perimeter.

For the 50th time
What does it matter if he’s unplayable when it matters? He’s not 6’5” and he’s slow

The taller perimeter guys don’t have to come at DLo’s price tag though.
DLo has to go. He had the opportunity and completely blew it.

Im not saying D'lo has to stay...im indifferent either way
But what I am saying is FVV too short for this team.

Only way I take FVV is if he does his player option. If we sign him to a long term contract we are ****ed
