I was watching back the NBA 75 ceremony and was thinking Vince was someone who could've been on there and then remembered back to the trade that brought him to NJ
This was the trade
Nets Receive
Vince Carter
Raptors Receive
Alonzo Mourning
Aaron Williams
Eric Williams
2 1st round picks
That's all they could get for one the biggest stars in the NBA at the time??? I get that he was having a bit of a rough season at the time but that was cause it was clear he wanted out of Toronto. Like the package the Raptors got was so shyt I can't understand someone who was coming off of multiple all star appearances and was considered a top star at the time being traded for so little.
Zo is the only name anybody anyone would recognize these days and he was not the player he had been in Charlotte anymore and had been having health problems (having briefly retired previously). He didn't even wind up even playing for Toronto either
It's so rare you see such a big player get moved for so little. Maybe when Pau was traded to the Lakers? I feel like Carter was a much bigger star at the time of his trade though and at least the Grizz lucked out with Marc Gasol turning out to be a good player
I'm pretty sure that trade alone ruined Rob Babcock's (RIP) tenure
