When negotiating in free agency, every front office must set a hard-line. There's a point when you must cease negotiations and walk away from the table. There's a number that's just too high. For Fred VanVleet and the Toronto Raptors, what is that number? Or rather, what should it be?
VanVleet enters this offseason as an unrestricted free agent. He's free to negotiate with 29 other teams and decide any destination he wishes. The Raptors don't necessarily have first priority, and like Kawhi Leonard, if he wanted to return stateside, he could take a lesser contract offer from another team.
