Raptors mailbag: Fred VanVleet’s farewell message trolls haters, locker-room dissent and Summer League
that and they were on the website’s front sports page. I just looked at my phone, we don’t have a CFL but we also don’t have tabs for any of the local teams, either.Q: Doug, I will tell you right now I respect you go no end … It was interesting that? Then Fred leaves on a ridiculous contract. Good for him. Personally I say the Raptors may sign a couple more veterans, then let’s see where they are at after 41 games. I’m not quick to give up on the core just yet. Tweak it a little or blow it up.
I think there might be an “opt in and extend” deal percolating out there with Trent or he’s quite happy to bet on himself and see where he is on the market a year from now. Have you noticed that Masai Ujiri seldom, like never, blows things up and he seldom makes a significant deadline trade. Can’t imagine it happening now.Q: Hi Doug,. This type of thing seems pervasive within all media and not getting better.
It’s very discouraging and frustrating to see as a fan but it must be really tough for you all in the biz to work within this type of environment these days. I just want to say thanks and send out appreciation for the great work you and your colleagues do.A: This missed the deadline last week, sorry about that. It was early because of free agency.
But, yes, ESPN is terribly short-sighted and while I don’t want to play the “why him and not him?” game, there were some tremendously skilled broadcasters who were let go. And some who were kept.I heard Mr. McCown is out of hospital but he’s got a very long road ahead of him. We’re all cheering for the irascible old man.
