Vince Carter last day as a Raptor

Today I learned some very interesting program on Sportsnet Radio 590 the Fan in Toronto as on the Tim and Sid show. The whole shooting match began very innocently enough with former head coach of the Raptors being booked on the show to basically to tell him that VC who last night show agreed that Jalen Rose is lying for his teeth about a story Jalen told in the past that Vince basically attacked his head coach Sam in the trainers room on a road trip and both Vince and Sam have now stated that it was all a joke and Vince simply put his arms around him and leaned on him. In the end when Sam came on to talk he listened to the part of VC agreeing with him and then laid a bombshell on everybody listening as he said that Vince the night before he was traded for a bunch of garbage said to Sam that he did not want to be traded and that he wanted to stay because he had seen what was happen out there and did not like it. Sam then went to GM Rob Babcock and told him that Vince did not want to be traded and Sam who was in his first season as head coach left it at that and now wished he had spoken to owner Larry Tanenbaum instead and things would maybe worked out better for the Raps and they would of been a playoff team with Bosh joining them that season. Then at the final segment of Tim and Sid's three hour show they were able toget Babcock now assistant GM in Minnesota on the phone to see his side of the story and he agreed that Sam did tell him but that the trade to the Nets for the Williams boyz had been verbally agreed to and he could not go back on his word and he really did not know in the long term if he could trust Vince. So he knew at the time he was not getting full value for Vince but still would not change a thing he did. I believe that Vince is a No. 2 and he was no good for the team with his rolling on the floor so often that is act was up in Toronto and would become another superstar in T.O. that was not so Super when they left and Babcock was in a no win situation and if he kept Vince he might of been screwed and he was screwed the Nets in the trade but to not take a day or two and feel the situation and where everything was at would of been the best decision. If U want the interviews Sportsnet radio 590 and look under podcasts for Tim and Sid and November 6 and the second (2) hour for Vince it is the final segment 27-28 minutes into the hour podcast. For Sam Mitchell it is November 7 and the beginning of the second hour and Babcock is at the end of the third hour of November 7. Tom Mehegan
