There was a segment with babcock a fews years ago and he admitted carter did not want to leave but he pulled the plug anyway
2015/16 Toronto Raptors Season Thread !!
- Thread starter raptorizedguy
- Start date
There is a reason this guy has never got a full ttime gig ..
We boo Vince but Rob and Richard Peddle were doing a lot of shit behind the scenes
That's what I like - only a one year deal so hopefully's he'll act like he has something to prove. Fitness issues, injury issues, not a great rebounder, reportedly soft.
yeah the 1 year deal works for me too, wish they had a team option with it, just in case he becomes a Biyombo clone!
Yup and they will have to trade for it as the cap is pretty much gone. I agree though a veteran that can give you a few quality minutes each night and set an example for all the youngsters on this team. Tell them and show them what it takes to be a winner
Currently Lowery is the leader. Not sure who else can step up, Carroll, DeRozan, Joseph?
not in my opinion. I don't see a fit. My opinion is jaded as I am not a fan. Think he is a jerk!
assume you are talking Henderson. (you realize we are dating ourselves!? LOL) Henderson was brought in as a get me a ring player. Whoever the Raps bring in (assuming they do) will be a veteran that will play, teach lead, and be a calming influence. A ring would be a shock as well as a bonus, as at the moment I don't think the Raps are close.
It is not T.O that is the issue ... Superstars now team up to make super teams ... 5 years ago Golden State wasn't a sexy destination but now Kevin Durant wants to go there ..
Vince isn't a veteran leadership voice .. He is just a veteran who loves to goof around
Good deal for Sullinger! A guy who averages double double at the PF position. Exactly what the raptors need.
Vince is not a leader.
Nor can he play anymore..... there is a video that compiles all of his dunks this season..... it is a short video.

Vince has never been a leader but always a good buddy to all....we have enuff of those!!
He did win the teammate of the year award (whatever that means).

When you make 16 dunks in a season you have to start finding other ways to keep yourself on a team.
By the way did anyone see Pop's interview regarding Tim Duncan's retirement? It was chock full of his dry sarcastic humour.
But the thing that stuck out the most was he said that Tim was not the type to dunk and pound his chest as if he was the first person to ever dunk.
I agree I could use a little less of that.
I hate the guys on the bench who hoot and holler and jostle each other like a bunch of children..... but if that's what I gotta do to get the league minimum sign me up!
