Then it will be DeMar. It will never end. These guys love the days where we got bounced from the first round.

because we're trying to remain competitive not focus on some nostalgia season, Vince never would have helped us win.

Because he sucks. He runs in slow motion on D. Any team other than the Hawks would nail him to the bench.

Vince never won a championship but we did without him. We don't need him. Get over it.

He couldn’t play a lick of Defense 20 years ago. Why would we want him now when he doesn’t offer anything else? Oh right, because he won that dunk contest in LA.

And don't fall for the mindgames from the sh*t disturber Loserberg. Masai didn't want VC and it was his onus to reach out, not Vince's. Which is absolutely fine.


Vince is still better than all the scuba masai brought in... out bench is total trash outside of fred and ibaka...

He just isn't a fit with the Raps current defensive identity. Almost everyone in the Raps rotation is a capable defender. The Raps look for players with flexibility and switchability. Vince can hit some shots, but he's a liability defensively at this point in his career.

I bet Vince has a better season than both Stanley and RhJ


Because eff him, we don't do revisionist history here... just my opinion

OG is a very good defender. Might end up being the best defender on the team this year.

Vince is a liability defensively.

The great thing about the Raps is that they don't have to hide anyone defensively anymore. That's a big reason why they won the championship last year.

We are the NBA Champs, not a joke team like the Knicks or Hornets. We acquire players who will further our title aspirations, not to sell jerseys. Thank God we have Masai and not jokesters such as Colangelo running our team.
