Do the Raptors want VC so he can be an active part of the team, or so they can retire his number and get closure on an ugly part of Raptor history? I dunno how the fallout between he and the franchise/fans when he left is perceived around the league, but I'm sure Masai would want to mend that.

Vince has been a bit of a vagabond in his career... 6 years in Toronto.... 5 in New Jersey.... 1 in Orlando...1 in Phoenix ...3 in Dallas... 3 in Memphis and he is now showering and taking his mail in Sacto...LJ2 wrote: View Post
Not sure he really wants to retire as a Raptor... if he does great.... give him the one day contract.....but let him ask for it...There's no such thing as a 2nd round bust.

How interested is he in wanting to play in some intense basketball again? The guy hasn't been on a final 4 contender since 2009Demographic Shift wrote: View Post9 time first team all-RR, First Ballot Hall of ForumComment

Wasn't he on the Grizzlies when they went to the WCF?KeonClark wrote: View PostAxel wrote:KeonClark wrote:KeonClark wrote:Comment

They lost to the Warriors in the 2nd round. Gave them a good scare though, were actually up 2-1 in the series, and Vince got major rotation minutes. So you're basically right he was in some fun gamesCody73 wrote: View Post9 time first team all-RR, First Ballot Hall of ForumComment

He's played 21 playoff games over the past three seasons with MEM, 28 over the past 4, including 11 on that 14-15 MEM team that lost in the WCSF.Cody73 wrote: View PostComment

The least of my concerns about Vince is his intensity. He knows what his reputation is in Toronto, and I think he'd give 150% in garbage time, just for the opportunity for the chance to change that narrative and contribute even in a small way. However, I'm not saying he's the best fit; not saying Raptors should do it.KeonClark wrote: View PostComment

I'm not seeing any suggestions for other realistic "good" fits. Vince can play a couple of positions, still seems able to turn it up when required, puts up better numbers during playoff appearances and fills a position of need. If somebody better becomes available (assuming Vince is even available) then go with the better option. The Raptors could use another player as injury insurance.octothorp wrote: View PostComment

I think if VC was really interested in returning, it would have happened by now..octothorp wrote: View PostComment

I'm pretty sure he would want to retire as a Raptor..especially since New Jersey isn't an option anymore. The thing is Masai I think wants VC to retire a Raptor even more so than VC does. He wants to build this franchise up, get some jersey's hanging from the rafters..Demographic Shift wrote: View PostComment

If Vince is ready to come back, then it's a no-brainer, we need the veteran presence and that hype in the playoffs. The one thing against him that he may steal the spotlight from our main guys just because the feelgood narrative, however he's got nothing to do with the recent success of the team.
Another option: Josh McRoberts? A good passing big, can shoot the three, got the swagger.Comment

My gut feeling is that Masai's interest in Vince is less about mending fences, or establishing legacies, and more about making the 2017-18 Raptors a tougher out in the playoffs.LJ2 wrote: View PostComment
