Final thoughts on Fred VanVleet, running it back & what lies ahead for the Raptors in free agency

In Episode 1435, Sean Woodley goes solo to break down where things sit with the Toronto Raptors going into the NBA's free agency window, which opens today at 6pm ET. Off the top, Sean digs into why he's ultimately feeling pretty zen going into the offseason despite the uncertainty surrounding Fred VanVleet. It seems pretty implausible that there aren't contingency plans in place if Fred bolts, but it also seems like it's still very possible that FVV does come back to the Raptors at the end of the day. Next, Sean runs through the financial picture for the Raptors and the dominoes that will need fall for the Raptors in the event VanVleet does re-sign and which money-cutting moves might be necessary in response. Plus, how does the uncertainty with James Harden in Philly inform the of the Raptors' plan to run it back, and what the ideal outcome for the next week or so would be for the Raptors through Sean's eyes.
