He scores 20 points a game on decent efficiency, he is a good high volume 3 point shooter (having a down year so far but historically much better than Din) an efficient playmaker, and a wildly better defender than Din. He would make a ton of sense next to Luka and he would make a ton of sense with the Nets.
I have no issue with FVV, and I'm a bit confused if you thought my post was a negative reaction to that potential trade was because I didn't think he was a good player...?
I've made countless mock trades for FVV. He is all the things you described (although I'll push back on the decent efficiency as he as been a sub 40% FG shooter for most of his career).
But as to everything else? Totally agree. For the Nets though, I think Dinwiddie makes a ton more sense, especially because he most closely replicates what Kyrie can do vs. Fred, AND is locked up for 1 more year. The Nets appear to be totally fine moving additional assets for a marginal upgrade and take the pleasure for throwing FVV 30+mil a year for a contract that'll take him into his mid thirties.
That's why this is a WTF moment.
