Let me get this straight: VanVleet doesn’t score more—he uses every possession like a Swiss watch on defense. Trading him? That’s like selling your anchor because you’re afraid of storms ahead. Our model says he’s not an asset—he’s the entire ecosystem. Meanwhile, fans are still asking: ‘Why not trade him for a star?’ … Probably because that star can’t make free throws and rebound while sipping espresso at 3AM. You think they’d find value in highlight reels? Nah. They’d find silence.
