The Detroit Pistons, along with the Knicks, are the franchises that are most interested in signing VanVleet. With several reports of VanVleet possibly moving to Detroit, this offseason signing could turn all the speculations and rumors into reality.

The Pistons are in the middle of a rebuild, they traded Andre Drummond to the Cleveland Cavaliers hours before the trade deadline and are fully committed in their mission to rebuild their roster with young players.

Fred VanVleet fits in this team's scenario perfectly. The 26-year-old point guard can help the team with his championship experience and can make the Pistons franchise his own.

#2. Phoenix Suns

Another franchise that is pursuing Fred VanVleet in NBA Free Agency 2020 is the Phoenix Suns. The Suns were the only team that went 8-0 in the bubble in Orlando but unfortunately fell short of one game to make the playoffs. The Suns, as many would agree, are a team to look out for in the near future.

With a young team, this franchise is looking for their first NBA title, and the addition of VanVleet could help them reach that goal. VanVleet was a crucial player in the 2019 NBA Finals and could be the player the Suns need to make the long-awaited finals run.

#1. Toronto Raptors

Despite hundreds of NBA trade rumors involving Fred VanVleet's free agency in 2020, he should re-sign with the Toronto Raptors. The Raptors, unlike any other team interested in him, reached the conference semi-finals and finished the season with the number 2 seed in the conference.

Kyle Lowry is getting old, and the Raptors offense could soon be focused on VanVleet and Pascal Siakam. The Raptors were the only team who believed in him when he went undrafted and have trained with him for years.

With the Raptors having enough cap space this offseason, re-signing VanVleet would keep their core intact.
