Vince became pointless when Lou came in. Its really a debate between Lou and Carter.

I wanted Vince on our squad for the feels but objectively speaking,
JJ > Vince
and JJ > PJ Tucker too.

The answer is always James Johnson.

Really its Lou Williams or VC. We would have signed JJ regardless.

We needed Vince Carter about as much as we needed Steve Nash. The motivations are likely similar and neither would have been good basketball moves. Close the chapter and live in the present.

I love Vince but if I were to choose between him and JJ, I would pick JJ since Raptors need a wing defender more than they need another scorer off the bench. We already had Vasquez, and Lou so adding Vince would be redundant. I don't want Ross or Carter guarding players like LeBron and Joe Johnson. They'd get demolished

JJ is better across the board, plus a better character guy, which is funny to say about him.

james johnson hands down… primarily because of the emergence of lou will off the bench… vince carter is primarily a spot of 3 point shooter at this point… we don't need MORE SCORING off the bench… we need someone that doesn't need touches, that adds defense, toughness, rebounding… and that's james johnson… he compliments the white squad well… vince carter would be redundant with vasquez and lou will...

Yeah, Both of the new offseason pickups seem to be really excelling at their roles. It's really hard to argue against that kind of success.

Hurts for me to say this, but I'd rather JJ over Vince. That being said I'd glady take Vince over Landry Fields.

How exactly is JJ a "better character guy"? I think you're lying, but I'm willing to listen to your argument if you can give some specific examples of how he's a better character guy than VC.
I assume you do remember all the talk of JJ whining in the locker room and acting unprofessional towards the end of his first stint here? The local media even acknowledged it.

Potential 6th man candidate or washed up old guy.
Tough call.
