Fred returning doesn't fix our #1 problem

FVV doesn't fix our #1 problem which is lack of perimeter creation . He gets massively overrated by this fanbase and FO because of 1 good playoff run AS A BACKUP. No team that has started FVV at PG has made it out the first round and he's only led an above average scoring offense 1 time which was in 24-25 when we finished 13th.

From Jan 27th - to the end of the regular season
in his last healthy season Fred was 69/206 (33%) from the field and 45/138 (32%) from 3 and had only 2 games where he's made more than 5 shots. He'll be 2 years older next season & coming off an ACL as a undersized guard.

Starting a PG with his deficiencies in a conference that has Luka , Shai , Castle , Harper , Fox , Kyrie , Booker , Murray , & Garland as their PGs would be malpractice. If he doesn't re do his contract to bring his salary down to $10-12M & accepts a bench role he needs to be traded. His skillset especially after injury doesn't warrant $25M.

Undersized "floor generals" who aren't threats offensively & just spam pnr "to keep TOs low" don't win championships as starters , dynamic PGs that the defense has to account for every possession do. KD sat on Fred's couch on his podcast & told Fred to his face " I need my PGs to get buckets not be a table setter ". This team has 0 shot of competing in a west with SA , OKC , DEN , LA , or MIN as long as they're relying on Fred to be a major contributor.
