God I can't stand Michelle Carter... she made Vince a mama's boy... not by a choice ya know... she just leave the boy alone and keep her mouth shut once in a while... I know she's been out of public for awhile but she's still talking, no question about it...
Oh man, ive never seen so many bad trade proposals in one thread. There is NO WAY teams are going to give that much for Vince. No way in hell.. who said take your purple glasses off was right.

This isn't really realisitic, but I was just thinking of some weird proposals that I wish could come true, and this was one of them: <u>Indiana Acquires</u> Vince Carter Jerome Moiso Milt Palacio <u>Toronto Acquires</u> Ron Artest Jeff Foster Jamaal Tinsley

How come I can't quote, that box in the corner where it says "Quote message in reply?" doesn't let me click. I wouldn't take AI over Carter either, take nothing away from AI.

<div class="quote_poster">Quoting ADubb20:</div><div class="quote_post">You'd take AI for Carter if you had to or you would want AI over Carter?</div> I wouldn't take AI over Carter, nothing against AI but his gamestyle doesn't appeal to me much, but that's not even a real factor, but his contract, his age, his injuries last season and the fact that he would complain to his mom who is like Carter's mom also and doesn't leave him alone.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting og15:</div><div class="quote_post">No one thinks Carter is worth Kobe, that's just stupidness, but I wouldn't take AI for Carter</div> well here's why i think the ai for carter trade would be lopsided for the raptors. i believe vince has peaked as a player whereas ai might still have one or two mvp calibre seasons left in him. u are right, i do think vince's career will have more longevity than ai cause ai clearly is over dependant on his speed and history dictates thats the first things that goes with age. however, i hate to get sentimental on you but don't we live for those moments, those transcendent, ecstatic moments of triumph and ai is the dude that can take us there. this might entail us sacrificing future success 4, 5 years from now when ai's skills diminish dramatically but bosh would be entering his prime and jalen would be off the books. so its not as big of a conundrum as it might appear. AI= basketball orgasm

AI= basketball orgasm</div> Good point there, but when you say that Vince has peaked as a player (which is true), I also think AIs has too. Hes older than Vince, hes had injuries the in the past. If AI can stay healthy he may have 2-3 more great season's in him, but remember that big "if". Also he launches a lot of shots during a game, a shoots around 39-42% each game, which is hurtfull to our team. If you remember most of the games last season (when all players were healthy), and some seasons before that, we usually get killed in games because of our poor shooting percentage. I would rather have a more efficient player(s) (doesn't mean better) for our team, mainly because we haven't had the ability to stay consistent for 48 minutes. AI has certainly done the job in the past, but he wouldn't be able to turn us into a winner.
I just wanna say that isnt there anyone who aggrese with me that Vince Carter should just try one more season with the raps and see if it works with the new cach and new rookie plus i would be pissed if he got traded cos who would then fill the seats in the arena...

It's gon be just Ronnie for those three you posted!
I'm pissed that Vince has talked about having a great season before each of the last 3 seasons, and he hasn't done crap. I'll just give him one more chance, but that means that all of you shouldn't be requesting out of the blue proposed trades involving Vince because he is most likely untouchable this off-season.
