FVV can be in last year of his contract next year. His 2025-2026 contract, $44,8M is team's option.
If FVV suck next year they can simply drop him.
Trent is so some much of a better fit than VanVleet, anyhow. And a 80M three year deal, or 110M four year deal probably gets that deal done.
p.s. I am giddy at the idea of flipping G-Harris and Fultz contracts into a Trent signing. PLEASE!
Orlando doesn't simply just need shooting. We need an actual PG. We need a PG who can give Paolo post entry passes without turning the ball over. We need a PG who can hit Franz more timely on his backdoor cuts. We need a PG who can generate easy looks and limit turnovers while spacing the floor.
Well what do ya know. FVV is averaging 8.1 APG with 1.7 TO PG and hitting 3 3's a game at 38.0%. We have a roster full of SG's masquerading as PG's in Suggs, Cole, Fultz, Black.
If you think Trent Jr is a better fit than FVV, I have to assume you haven't been watching enough Magic basketball.
Also Gary Trent Jr isn't who you think he is, and if we paid him 3 Yr/80 mil I might just refrain from watching the Magic next year. He is an MLE level player.
