I mean the guy gets $40 million, and it’s not like he’s doing exceptionally well. He’s putting up 16-4-9, while teammate Sengun (makes $3.5 million) puts up 21-9-6; also keep in mind Vanvleet plays 37 minutes compared to Sengun’s 32 minutes a game. Obv I understand Sengun’s salary is so low because of his rookie contract, but I can’t wrap my head around how VanVleet makes that much money for slightly above average stats. yall agree or nah?
Houston had a budget surplus they were forced by to spend. So they gave Fred an extra 10-15 million a year. I think Houston understood he wasn’t worth a max contract.
