i suggested this possibility to my friends a couple of weeks back and recently this friend i have in toronto told me that rumors are flying every where about an off-season deal that would send VC to philly for AI of course some other players would be involved but who do you think would get the better side of that deal i would say philly if vince stays healthy the sixers really have nothing to lose because both players are injury prone so they can only gain from this deal
not really, I would not do this trade if i were Toronto. VC is much more bigger and athletic than AI and Toronto already has an undersized team filled with shooting gaurds, not to mention the possibility of receivng Ben Gordon through the draft.
For Philadelphia sake I wouldnt do it. We talk about how Allen Iverson is injured prone. But Vince Carter is another story. Allen Iverson can sometimes play threw some injuries. But when even Vince Carter gets injured you can bet he will be out at least 2 weeks. He always has a serious injury. So I wouldnt do it. I would keep Iverson on the team. He just had a real bad year this season. Thats all. Sixers will be back with avengance next season. Watch out.
i wouldn't do it for toronto....ai is aging and losing his quickness and his injuries are catching up to him ...not to mention that he has a very bad atitude imo ....but again as seen this season vince didn't miss that many games and i think the 2 years where he got injured were just 2 unfortunate years..
I think Toronto would get a really bad deal for a trade like that. Iverson has a very low point percentage and is not much of an assist person for a PG. Vince has a complete package except for the steals department which Iverson is much better at. Plus Iverson doesnt have the nicest attitude. Its either his way or he's not playing. Vince is a great sportsman, and stays faithful, willing to be just a team player and is never a show off when it comes to what he has accomplished. Vince seems to have a brighter future in my opinion than Iverson, even though both of them have already passed their high points (possibly).

He has never been a very quick player, but it seemed like he already has lost a step in that department. I really don't have an opinion on this trade yet, but they both are probably going to start experiencing some long term injuries, and both are about the same age anyway.
I wouldn't do it for Toronto, AI has averaged 16.8 missed games per year tha last 4 years with Vince averaging 19.3 missed games. Iverson is 2 years older than him and he's getting more injury prone and slower, and with his game relying so much on him being the league's quickest and fastest player its going to go down hill. Vince had a relatively injury free year this year and if he can keep that steady he'll be fine. Iverson can't be like Steve Smith, Stockton, Jordan, Pippen (injury man) or any of those older guys that played for a long time because his game is all about his natural ability and not so much developed skill. When you get older shooting is something that is needed to continue playing well and with his shooting being streaky at best you can expect the 38% shooting if he's going to be a top scorer. Vince is getting older too, but Vince can shoot, infact all he does now is shoot, so he'll be able to survive, you can already see that he's not as quick as before but he still manages to beat his defenders with some of the slowest penetration moves I've seen in my life. Iverson will also be a problem in fitting him in, he should move to being a PG now but he doesn't have the floor general mentality. He's a good passer but he's not a good PG. If he's going to be a PG it has to be on a team with another star, so if it was like Rose for Iverson and him and Carter were together it <u>could </u> work.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting kvh4fan:</div><div class="quote_post">Vince is to injury prone. I wouldn't want him here.</div> Same here. Although Vince Carter is taller than him and he can dunk...a dunker what the sixers need...I still dont think that the Sixers will ever do that. They aint that stupid.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting kvh4fan:</div><div class="quote_post">Vince is to injury prone. I wouldn't want him here.</div> same goes for me for Iverson in Toronto a couple years ago i might have considered it, but all the abuse that Iverson has taken over the years is catching up to him....VC isn't the picture of heath either but Iverson is not going to help our situation at all AI hogs the ball too much and any teammate that plays with him has to refer to him...he has always had problems playing with another talented/semi-talented player (ie. Stackhouse, Van Horn, Robinson)
^Ugh, I will not be a big supporter of the Raptors if Iverson is traded for Vince. What we don't need is more problems on top of our own. For those that say that Vince is injury prone: Look up how many games he played this year compared to Iverson. I think the Raptors would be more apprehensive about Iverson than the Sixers of Carter. Oh and BTW.....This trade won't happen unless hell has frozen over.

yea rite....vince carter doesnt even have half the leadership iverson has, too soft of a guy, doesnt drive to the basket anymore,shooting almost as bad as iverson(hey at least ai gets to the line) and vc doesnt get many assists
I didn't read anything in thread but , completely nonsense. Sixers need Carter and Raptors need AI if it could somehow happen...they will just trade needs.
