Layden/Isiah move. I love FVF but he’s not anywhere close to being a max player. Be patient with the PG situation.
i think the number i have seen is $20m per year, 4 years. that was pre pandemic. I don't know how that may have changed.
I don't think it is a layden/isiah move. Just the opposite.
Would it be over paying? Yes. But we have a decent roster with some decent parts that would be so much better if we had a real PG. Adding a player of VanVleet's caliber unlocks value elsewhere. It might help Randle be more productive with less turnovers.
I don't mind drafting a PG, but if you think a 19 or 20 year old is going to come in here and turn things around, you're crazy. PG is the hardest position and needs some years to develop the skills and intelligence needed. The savvy.
A player like Ball might be one of those natural talents to come in and immediately impact. I just don't see us drafting him.
