I wonder if something's up after watching that VC special that aired a few wks back. He's a free agent next yr and maybe the organization along with Vince himself are angling for a reunion of sorts. I could see a 2yr contract for 3-4 mil per yr. I think he's got just enough gas left in the tank to provide some decent minutes off the bench and be a good mentor for DD & TRoss. We're not re-signing Salmons and the price would be right for Vince to fill that slot.
Now it boils down to all the haters. Yes I was one of them too (for good reasons) but bygones are bygones now and I really believe he's grown up and genuinely loves the city of Toronto. Also I believe in legacy and there's a real chance to right the wrongs of the past and have him retire as a Toronto Raptor. People are gonna say he hasn't changed, he'll be a bad influence in the locker room on a young team, we'll never forgive him for what he did, etc, etc. I realize it's a bit of a risk but it's one that I feel is worth the gamble considering his maturity level these days and current price tag. Maybe I'm a sucker for nostalgia and fairytale endings but bringing back Vince will enrich this franchise. I think as soon as Air Canada takes flight again and rocks that first dunk all will be forgiven. IMO if that happens the city along with Vince will be better off for it..
