43.333 M per year for FVV. What a world.

 

[Breakers]

Good for him.

 

[No Fun Shogun]

This is my new "the NBA has much, much more money to burn than the NHL" contract.

 

[Reality Check]

I know Pistons fan are a bit unhappy with the Joe Harris cap trade.

But signings like this and Jerami Grant, I think they could have done much worse.

 

[Stylizer1]

Good. bye bye.

Making more than Kyrie. Love Fred but damn. Good on him to get that bag.

So is FFV top 20 player in the league? Top 30?

Just want to know if this is like i dunno Evander Kane making 12 million per?

No, he is not

Paying VanVleet 130 million dollars to play on one's basketball team for 3 seasons is the single most absurd contract I've ever seen handed out in professional sports

 

[DueDiligence]

This is the stupid part of the NBA. Fred is a good player but so are 100 other guys. I guess a $100 million a year contract is the next wow moment.

 

[Stylizer1]

Fred went to the team that offered him the most money which would be a crappy team. He has his championship so this is essentially a retirement contract even though he has 7-8 seasons left.

 

[Terry Yake]

130 million lol. just insane

 

[Elvis P]

He's just not $43M per year great.

 

[Voight]

He'll likely get another big contract when this one expires but I am still surprised he didn't go for a 5 year deal given his value is probably at its peak right now

You can’t get a 5-year deal with a new team
