Yo did the Nets really get Vince Carter for this load of bulls**t?

[Street Messiah]

nah, he joined a Nets team that took the championship pistons to 7 (though Kenyon and maybe Kittles left) and got swept in the first round by a
Vince just isnt that dude

those nets teams were NOT contenders. they had no depth and no frontline and the east was an absolute joke back then. Ill always wonder if they kept Tmac what would've happened. did the raptors just really not see his potential ? went from role player to superstar in one offseason.

Would've been fun to have seen VC and T Mac stick together. Raptors should've had more faith in T Mac. Everyone knew T Mac was gonna be a superstar yet he wasn't even a full time starter when he was with the Raptors

People always say this but the original plan was for him to be the 3rd option on the Magic behind Grant Hill and Tim Duncan. Doc fukked up the recruiting dinner with Tim and he wound up staying with the Spurs and obviously Grant barely ever played with T Mac cause he was constantly injured
