How many players in the history of the NBA have cut their salary by $8 million dollars because they think they don't deserve it? How many people in the history of the universe would say no to $8 million dollars because they don't think they deserve it. Nobody would ever do that. He's not stupid. You can't ever blame anybody for accepting money, even if they don't earn it every day. It's the person who was willing to pay him that made the bad move. Vince Carter just isn't good enough to be a first option. So, he's not trying to be one. He's trying to win. This is the right attitude. He's trying to win. He's not trying to make himself bigger than he is. He doesn't need to be their best player. Someone else can be.

fact is that he asked the raptors to resign all his old buddies (a. davis, alvin williams, and jerome williams) and he got rid of the guy that knew exactly what carter was(a p*ssy) charles oackley, and then he just bailed on them after things didn't go the way he wanted and he wasn't the best player, he has been running from people that critisice him or making them leave,and he also makes empty threats to the media "im gonna prove you wrong" is that what has to happen to this guy to get him to play with a passion.

By all accounts players dont want to play for a losing situation however many players including, yes...... Zo loves Todt.
People are starting to piss me off with their hatred of t.o
Anyway vince is the biggest waste of talent on the planet, any one of us would cut of our right NUT to have the talent this guy has or had, and now look at him, making empty threats to the media, oh yea i will make ppl eat their words........ Lets see didn't he say that last year, and the year before and oh yea the year before. I cant wait for the explosion at the ACC when this guy returns to tdot, booooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. Wait he will no doubt be on the injured list with a P*ssy injury.  |

You're giving Raptors fans a bad name. Vince put that city on the map. Don't hate, be grateful for what he did. If you wanna hate someone, hate TMac, if he had stayed..... ohhh the possibilities....

What am I going to say?
Dish rap fans, I am a rap fan as well. People think I am just a VC fan but I am also a Rap fan, I fan that support the Raps to lose games as much as possible. I didnt start to hate teh Raps before the arrivial of Chris Bosh.

im gonna laugh so hard when vince fullfills his full potential and becomes top 5 players in the east. This team will have 3 allstars 2 franchise players and the only reason there not title contenders is cause of there front court... isay they at least get to the second round and if there seeded right they could get to 3rd round but not farther then that enless they make some more moves.....this is so huge and yall dont reilize it...... carter playing like carter plus new star jefforson whos averging over 20 points a game and the best point guard who can get them many dunks and open shots jason kidd
