    What really seemed as the impossible has suddenly become plausible.

    Vince Carter and Tracy McGrady, distant cousins whose one-time rocky relationship has grown stronger in the past year, could very well be suiting up as Raptors teammates for the second time.

    As far-fetched as this incredible twist of fate appears, sources believe the scenario has merit. They say McGrady misses playing with Carter, misses Toronto and has become so distraught at the losing in Orlando that he would like to come back. It's believed McGrady told a member of the Raptors during Toronto's visit to Orlando last Friday that he would welcome a return.

    During Toronto's only visit to Orlando, Carter and McGrady looked so much at ease playing against one another.

    If T-Mac is ever to come back, the Raptors would have to move a big-ticket player like a Jalen Rose, who has been traded three times during his career. Rose has a huge contract, one that runs out following the 2006-07 season when he'll make close to $17 million US.

    Sounds crazy and I don't think it will ever happen but it is an idea.

    Ridiculous. Tmac makes me sick. First of all, he knows perfectly well that he isn't willing to take a pay-cut to do this. Secondly, he should have thought about this before he ran away.

    All he does is whine and complain, say stupid things to the media, and lose games.

    Tracy, your opponents are going to play a zone no matter what team you are on. Even if you play in Canada...

    I want to hear what Vince has to say about this.

    I agree... Im getting tired of hearing of how bad the Magic are, and all Tracy is doing is worsening the situtation. He has no positive outlooks on anything and all he does is complain.

    Isnt that the truth. Pierce isnt complaing as the Celtics arent doing so well. I mean Tmac is a good player and all, but sometimes he can act like a big baby.

    I dont think it would work. First of all, they both play in the same postiotion, SG (although Carter is a good forward too). Secondly, their egos have developed, and they cant have as many ppg if they are on the same team.

    Well he made a choice by going to the Magic. So he has to stop crying and take full responsibilities as the C of the Magic.

    I think the issue at hand is that McGrady comments more than Vince and himself working on the same team. A Leader does not say, I miss playing with so and so. How do you think this makes his teammates feel? They probably have a real hard time looking at McGrady as one of the elite in the NBA when he is talking about other places he plays as opposed to his current stitutation.

    McGrady is worsening his worth in my eyes everytime he opens his mouth.

    First of all, we don't even know if any of this true. It's just pure speculation, y'all act like he came out and had a press conference about it. I doubt he misses toronto he has said many times how he hated living up there.

    He is 2nd in the league in scoring, facing zone defense's with 3 guys around him everytime he catches the ball. I'd say he's not that worried about it anymore.
