Fred VanVleet on last year’s free agency: “I knew I didn’t really want to go back to Toronto. They didn’t really want me back, but it was like, again, I had the relationship. They kind of wanted to make sure they put a respectable offer down, but they came with the bullshit first.”
So when Houston came with the real deal, this don’t nobody know it yet, soon as they said the number, my mind was made up.
So then when I met with Toronto, they came with another deal like at the last minute like, ‘Yo, we going to offer you whatever we going to offer you.’ I’m like, ‘All right, bet.’ You know what I’m saying? But even my meeting with them was like they knew — you know, everybody in the room knew like this shit over with. But it was just almost like just a formality, like we just doing this because this what we supposed to do.
