    I think Reed and Davidson are a better combo than FVV and Reed.

    Fred did his job, got paid to do it, give him a watch and a ring from this year if we win, and trade him in the summer.

    Thank you for your service, you are a SUPER character guy, but we are better on the floor without him.

    you start him depending on minutes he can play and have Reed as the 6th man

    Totally agree. He was exactly what the doctor ordered the first two years. He played way too much last year and he should be jettisoned as soon as he and Ime will allow it. Maybe offer a bench coach job next year.

    Hopefully he won't think it's the team doing him dirty to ask him to lead the bench unit. 3rd guard, still going to get 24ish minute in a playoff situation. If Reed is slippin you have a vet right there to sub in. Pretty ideal imo

    Play him off the bench in his Toronto championship role.
