Yeah I think Fred has pretty much hit his ceiling at 20-6-4. What crazy good value he is for an undrafted player and at what he's getting paid he's totally a steal. He was a top 35 scorer in the entire league last season.

Fred has proved his point and has won the bet.
I doubt there's any more ceiling to his game.
And he could end up making more than that. I'd much rather have Fred than Herro.

Not sure why you quoted my post there. ..... Whether Fred's game improves any further or not, there's a massive difference between the 100/110 million dollar contract he could sign now vs the 130 he's close to guaranteed if he just keeps playing as he always has.
And he could end up making more than that. I'd much rather have Fred than Herro.

Yep, the Herro deal is the absolute floor for Fred now. If he signs the extension he'd be doing us a huge favor. When the cap jumps Fred at anything below $30m will be an absolute steal.
Come on Freddy, do us a solid...

This reminds me of the offseason the summer before the 2016 cap jump. JV was eligible for an extension and I had completely given up on hope he would sign one, because the money was going to be wacky the following summer and he was definitely going to get a huge deal. Then near the end of the summer he got spooked by a super minor injury and signed for 16M AAV.
Sometimes guys want to lock in the payday. Not always, not even most often, but often enough that it's hard to say a guy is doing anything as a favour to the team. It really comes down to known security vs potential payday. Everyone's decision-making is different in those scenarios, and even changes as careers progress.

He is still a good player, but we can no longer expect him to be an allstar type,
therefore it's probably to his advantage if he signs the 100/110 million now instead of betting on himself once again.

I feel like Fred has peaked and his game is only going to regress now.

Peaked or not. He's 28 years old.
How many times does this need to be stated: Fred's the same age Kyle was when We The North began.
He needs to add literally nothing to his game and can still afford to take a step back in terms of role and he's not getting less than $130 if he waits for it.
If he gets injured, sure maybe he gets less. That's the gamble.
Betting his game is gonna regress and he should clamour for the $110? Straight up idiotic.

I don't think he will sign that extension now but opt to free agency and than negotiate a better deal with or without the Raptors. It's also important to Fred to see how he fits this year with the rest of the 6'9 squad and what his role is going to be like. He might not like it as much if NN wants the ball less in his hands and be more of a SG.
