Hypothetically speaking would you welcome Vince Carter if he was traded back to the Raptors?

Yeah, any anger I had at the way things ended has pretty much faded.

My love for the Raptors comes before my hate for what Vince did to the franchise.
This team would be a lot better off if we had Vince right now, therefore I would put aside any ill feelings I have towards him, and gladly accept him back.

Sure, we could use some like him but the chances are slim to none.

I think a lot of people would welcome him back. Depends on the trade i suppose.

Kapono, Parker, Solomon, Graham (maybe future first) for VC and CDR

Is it true that New Jersey are looking to trade Carter? (Try to free up some cap space; save money since New Jersey is losing a lot of money)

Dang... We still have a slim chance of getting him back?? Sry but thats just how frustrated I am with this team. Any chance of getting a valuable player on this team is good.

Never going to happen. Even if you find a bunch of people on here who would, there is no way that management and ownership would want him back. The Toronto media and the fans who actually go to the games (which RealGM doesn't accurately represent IMO) would rip on him and it would be a crazy distraction for the whole team.

I'd have to say no. That ship has sailed. What the Raptors have needed for a long time.... even since Vince was here.... was grit, heart, toughness. Vince supplies none of these.
I intend to live forever. So far, so good.

Only if you hypothetically welcome JO. Or a collection of crappy expiring contracts.
9. Similarly, IF THOU HAST SPENT the entire offseason predicting that thy team will stink, thou shalt not gloat, nor even be happy, shouldst thou turn out to be correct. Realistic analysis is fine, but be a fan first, a smug smarty-pants second.

Charlie was our own pick, Joey was picked with the pick you're talking about.

If Colangelo felt it would be the right move for the organization, I think all Raps fans should welcome him back if they see it leads to a winning cause after a while.
