The deal the Raptors turned down in 2001

[lefty]

John Shannon: "Raptors turned down deal in 2001: Nowitzki and Nash for Carter and Davis."

LOL

Canadians.

[pass1st]

Back then everybody thought Vince was the next Jordan

[resistanze]

The only outcome that would've changed is that Dirk wouldn't have gotten a ring :lol

[lefty]

That was logical in 2001, can't see anything wrong with that.
True


LOL Bucks though

:lol Bucks
:lol Tractor Taylor





Edit : RIP Taylor :(

'Eh, even though
1. Antonio Davis is pushing 33 years old and is surely close to done.
2. Nash is a a really promising up and coming point guard
3. Nowitzki has allstar written all over him after dropping 42 on the Spurs in game 5,

no way I do that trade if I'm Toronto. I just watched Carter play like an MVP against Philly, and his first three seasons have made him look like a Dwayne Wade. I don't have a crystal ball to find out he becomes a jump-shooting pussy and that both Nash+Nowitzki become MVP players. Maybe I see superstar talent in Dirk, but definitely not in Nash.

Neither Dirk, nor Nash, would have had the same results, playing for the shitty Raptors front office and franchise..

As Baseline said, trading Vince for anybody other than Shaq, Duncan or Garnett, at that time, would have caused a riot in Toronto..
