He had his video tribute already, why do people want the Raptors to waste a roster spot on Vince, when they need to be finding as many serviceable players for the FUTURE that they can, given it will be rebuilt around Siakam an OG in a year...
Vince put Toronto on the map, made the Raptors legit. It’s possible if it weren’t for Vince, we could have lost the Raptors like we lost the Grizz.
Why a roster spot? Besides the nostalgia, Vince has been a really good vet for young players. He’s a positive locker room and potential building piece that can still give you some good minutes. Remember he earned his minutes in Atlanta. He’d probably get less in TO anyway. We also have a bunch of twoway contracts that can develop in the Dleague as well, so he’s not hurting the roster by being on the end of the rotation.
