Why not sign him to a 10 day hardship? Joking (not joking).

Don't see any point in this. Its not like its regular times and it would help with attendance. The VC ship sailed many years ago.

I think just seeing him in a Raps jersey almost 20 years after he got traded would be cool.

Why hasn't Vince signed that 10 day contract to retire a Raptor? He doesn't want to retire as one?

I wouldn't be opposed to it;

Not even as an "attendance blip" but at this point we have won a chip, Lowry is the GROAT, and maybe its time to start acknowledging our history and Vince certainly did a lot for Basketball in Canada and for the Raps at the time.

Not gonna happen. I imagine Joe Johnson has been working out a lot, VC probably not because he had no expectation of unretiring.

But if he did sign, we should wear the retro purple Dino unis every game he plays
There goes my hero. Watch him as he goes.

So, we're going to pay him to increase our hardship?

I have 2 to 3 decades left in me. I would not be in a position to oppose this after I'm dead.

I would rather see Hedo back on a 10 day hardship than that bum

Bargnani will be well rested.
Imagine he just comes in and rebounds the heck out of the ball for ten days and then leaves pro ball for good.

I mean at least with bruno you'd think he'd be in his chronological prime but he's been plagued by injuries.

VC is doing TV analysis now and he's been gearing to do TV for years, it's one of the reasons he signed with Atlanta where NBA TV headquarters is.

Wish he would have asked for buyout before J Lin or Jodie Meeks. We could have used him a game or two and I think by that time he was mature enough that he and team could have just been professional and focused. 2-3 years before he would have been a distraction on any Raps team.
