No-one is safe if the Raptors lose their MVP. They could let VanVleet's salary come off the books while they try to stay relevant with Marc Gasol (player option), Kyle Lowry and Pascal Siakam, or they could look to sell off whatever assets they have and steer into a rebuild.
During the regular season, VanVleet averaged 11.0 points and 4.8 assists per game - and he is set to earn $9million for the 19/20 campaign.
