I like GV and his contract is very friendly but ultimately I think you have to trade him. Two of his biggest weakness, speed and athleticism, he can't really improve on.

I'm just saying when it is time for his contract extension, I don't want the Hornets to be the ones to pay him.

At this point, you don't know how much he commands. Will he give the team a discount? I think there's a good chance unless he grows a big head which I doubt happens.

He may get paid but I don't think we can get a workable replacement for cheaper outside of using a draft pick on one or having Rivers miraculously develop.

Lots of points out there who are either starters or on their second contracts are making around $8m+. If we bring in a Devin Harris or other such castoff, they'll get paid as much or more than Vasquez but may not mesh nearly as well with our other key pieces like Gordon and Davis.
