What's the consensus on Vanvleet? Worth forgoing 2021 cap space for? It's not hard to imagine him being a solid 3rd option, but the Mavs could also get stuck with an undersized chucker on a huge contract if he regresses.
He does bring a lot to the table that Dallas needs. Tough perimeter defender against guards, good volume shooter and secondary playmaker, and he's only 26. I haven't seen him play a lot, but at a glance he looks like the type of guy that the MBT would pursue. Almost a Kemba-like addition except not quite the scorer (especially from midrange) but a much better defender.
Rumor is Toronto wants to keep his new deal at around $20M a year. It wouldn't surprise me to see the Knicks offer up to $25M. At that point Dallas could step in and offer Hardaway in a sign and trade. Something like $90-$100M total over 4 years.
