Raptors 2014 Free Agency: Raptors Thread

He can get more money outside of the Raptors, so thats whats taking longer.
Will he take the money, or Masai?

[MACK11]

Money or Masai ???

Maybe he's got too many people talking to his ear that he is a starter in this league and should be a starter and be payed like one.

Sorry, I'll stop. But he really should start and get a bigger paycheque.

[2kfeen]

He's a good bench player as a spark plug off the bench, but he shouldn't start
He can't play defense, especially in this dynamic league, where he would get slaughtered every possession
He is somewhat inconsistent at times too

He would be among the last 5 in terms of starting point guards in the NBA, meaning he is probably only better than Chalmers, Brandon Knight, Beverly

I'm pretty sure you will see GV in a raptors jersey next season, mark my words, and dont worry too much. MASAI KNOWS WHAT HES DOING!
IN MASAI WE TRUST

Haha I guess Vasquez is just a yolo type of person.

[JawsGT]

Is it possible that Vasquez may have an opportunity to join the Heat, and this is only taking so long because of the big3. If they all resign, wouldn't Vasquez be an upgrade at the point for that team? And then Riley would know what he can offer Vasquez. Is that possible?

Or are we just waiting on MU here?

Lots of moves are depending on where Lebron signs (not the big three). Even Melo is waiting it out.

I read somewhere a couple of days ago that there is already an offer in to GV. It's in his court I believe.

EDit: Strike that..maybe it was just the qualifying offer that I read about (3.1 mill.)

I thought that meant something was coming today but after looking at his account...he does something like that almost every day. That said, it would be a bit odd for him to be at Toronto's 1 year to Pan Am Games this Friday without having resigned with the team

.@Raptors @greivisvasquez is extending a personal invite for your family to join him at #TO2015 countdown party http://t.co/WKvjq4PAQ0 #RTZ

I read there was a multi year offer on the table....just like there was for de colo

Gotta wait fit shit to shake out

maybe Masai lowballed him now that we have Lou Williams to play that 6th man role

Possible. He is mulling taking the one year versus the multi year (3 years, judging by Patterson's deal) deal that is on the table. If the first year was similar to or less than the QO, I think the QO would be an easy choice. He's mulling over something, so it is probably not an easy choice. So the first year of the deal must be higher than the QO. The QO is about 3.9M for Vasquez. So the first year is probably 4.5M, and assuming max raises that amounts to 14.5M over 3 years. Not a bad offer.
