So this was the reason why FO attempted to get VC?

[Duncanoypi]

because of Manu's situation?

[mexicanjunior]

They should have tried a little harder...

VC makes Manu look like Cal Ripken.

VC makes Manu look like Cal Ripken.

[VI_Massive]

VC was never a good option -- too old, too expensive, no defense, head case, take your pick.

[Rogue]

VC is more prone to injuries than Manu IMHO.

[Muser]

I'd rather them pull the trigger on the Camby deal, or try to get it done earlier. I know the clips where the ones to end it but Camby would of been sweet.

[mytespurs]

Incidentally Camby suffered an ankle injury too....wasn't it against the Spurs?

[spurs_fan_in_exile]

They went after VC so Sequ would stop sending them hate mail.

[HarlemHeat37]

Carter hasn't been injury prone since his Raptor days..he's actually somewhat of an ironman..

he's not a headcase in any way..

the only question about acquiring Vince was his contract..so it will depend on what the front office does in the next 2 years to determine whether this was a mistake or not..

[SPURS50]

Even if the Spurs got there hands on Carter and Ginobili was out for the remander of the year would it guarantee a ring?

[HarlemHeat37]

obviously it wouldn't guarantee anything..but he's a better player than Manu at this point, and he fits perfectly with what Pop likes on the offensive side of the floor..
