Re: Right now Allen is much better than Carter.

Sorry Mojo, but I would've taken that trade.

Ray Allen was quoted as saying he wanted a trade and he actually would like to play in Toronto. Right now Ray Allen and the Sonics are tearin' it up.
Allen's PPG: 27
Seattle's win-loss record: 8-1.

Pretty good for a guy that wanted to be traded in the Summer. As compared to our guy that wanted to be traded in the Summer.
Carter's PPG: 15
Toronto's win-loss record: 4-5
Where did I say that I wouldnt take that trade? lol I would have done it in a heart beat if i were the Raptors. NO brainer in my opinion. Something must have fallen through. Like the Sonics coming to their senses. Just to be clear. I would have traded VC for RA too

The Raps have got to do something, and do it quickly. VC's stock is plummeting every day, and they need to get something of value while they can. I think Carter and Rose is too much to give up for Abdur-Rahim and Van Exel, but it might wind up being the best offer on the table.

I think they should wait for a better deal. His stock is not necessarily plummetting as a result of his play as any general manager knows that a disgruntled player isn't going to perform as well as he normally would.

As the season rolls on there are going to be some teams not meeting their expectations who will be more willing than now to give a better offer. They'll be somewhat more desparate. In the meantime the fans here see that the offers aren't good enough and due to the tormoil, they can't very well expect the team to challenge, so some of the pressure to achieve is gone.

As well, with Vince seeing the low quality of trades his value is bringing in, it might spur him to play better in the hopes the Raptors can get enough to satisfy them and expedite his departure.

The only big danger I see in waiting longer is ..............INJURY. We all know how fragile this guy is and if he gets a significant injury, they're fucked. Otherwise waiting is definitely the smart play.

Vince may have played his best game of this short season the other night. Do not I repeat DO NOT rush into a trade, get the best deal possible. The Raps are in the drivers seat as it looks like other teams have come a courtin....

Supposedly there are a number of deals with other teams are being talked about. Too bad the putz is doing nothing for his trade value.

By the way, it's about time murray had a game (or at least a half). Also, vote for the nba allstars. We should all be including skip as a write in. It's amazing watching the raps play with a true pg.
