Oh yeah I heard this on ESPN yesterday. If this is really true then Carter is stupider than I thought. OMG another reason to hate him even more.
Sorry if this has been posted before, i've been gone a bit.
"Two days before Toronto Raptors general manager Rob Bab traded Vince Carter to the New Jersey Nets, he was informed that Carter may have tried to sabotage his team in a game a month ago. Whether that information led to Carter being traded Friday for Alonzo Mourning, two other players and two draft picks is unclear. But after being part of trade talks for more than a month, Carter was dealt less than 48 hours after Bab was interviewed for a story about Carter’s actions Nov. 19." Tacoma News Tribune
"Three members of the Seattle SuperSonics say they believe Carter intentionally tipped off a play during the final minute of the Raptors’ 101-94 loss to the Sonics in Toronto." Tacoma News Tribune
"With 29 seconds remaining in that game and the Sonics leading 97-90, the Raptors called a timeout. After returning to the court, Carter lined up along the edge of the key. He was facing the Sonics’ bench with his hands on his knees. According to a member of the Sonics, before the play began, Carter said directly to the Seattle bench, “It’s a flare. It’s a flare.” Two other members of the Sonics confirmed that Carter told the Sonics bench that the Raptors were running the flare play. The Raptors, inbounding the ball above the Sonics bench, then ran a flare play for Carter." Tacoma News Tribune
"According to one member of the Sonics, the bench reacted immediately to what Carter said, with Sonics players saying, “Did you hear that? Did you see that? That’s (expletive) up.” Another member of the Sonics said he discussed the play with a coach after the game, and the coach said, “If you ever do that, I’ll run you out of the league.”" Tacoma News Tribune

Wow, Carter is a jackass.
It was only obvious that he didn't want to be a Raptor, and that he didn't give two s about them.
Why would anyone purposefully hurt their team? That is a rhetorical question- no need to answer. But seriously, I hope the rumor is untrue. I have never been a huge Carter fan , but I never imagined him to be a back stabbing s bag. For shame!
I call bull .....
however if this was Kobe....CNN would be doing a cover story.
whether he did it or not..it's on enough media now to warrant some distinction. Either way ..screw him.
Yeah - 'cause Kobe Bryant is a more newsworthy person than VC. You know, with his whole love of hotel workers and purple rings.
Man, you're such a whiny , I swear.
You're worse than TPark when he'd change a thread on people's favorite sandwiches into a John Kerry blast.
I'm going to make a thread sometime about the Mavericks signing "The Professor" from the And1 Mixtape Tour to a ten-day contract and you'll find some damn way to whine about Kobe getting too much media attention.
There's not even a tie-in whatsoever to the article to the Lakers, Slava, Kobe, Karl Malone...nothing - and YOU find a way to turn this into "Wah, Wah, Kobe".
The closest thing I could find is that the Lakers were in the same division as the Sonics last season.
But other articles point out that this is conventiantly happaning after VC is traded but these say that this was brought to everyone's attention TWO DAYS before the deal happaned.
I guess VC doesn't really give us a reason to believe he wouldn't pull crap like this.
thats good enough for me
BTW, how's the mullet coming?thats good enough for me

Vince Carter is a religious doctrine?
good, havent got a haircut since the last GTG
mabye if Im realllllll nice Santa will bring me one!!!
Arrogant bas ; I'm going to tell you what I'm going to do, then do it.
Actually,
I think Bird and MJ would do something similar to their opponent, so whats so different about doing it to the bench?
The bench doesn't have time to react appropriately, so he thought he was just messing with their heads.
If VC is more concerned with how he looks instead of what's best for his team, thenhe deserves everything he gets.
If VC's trying to be a Jordan or Bird telling you what's going to happen and do your best to stop it, he's more delusional than I give him credit for.
Oh, and the media's biased against Kobe.
Hershey?
Here we are
In a world of corruption
Human nature is
Of violent Breed
Who cares if there;s no tomorrow
When I die for my future's
Laid out for me
Can't you see?
Rise above the lies
Morals on a backwards globe
A sin to you
For me it's hope.
It's my life and provision
Black or white
Some pay to pray
You question why they
Act this way
It's their ing decision
No more judgement day
Only tranquility
Peace signs, protest lines
Mean nothing to me
Honesty born in me
Heresy
I know what's right or wrong
And my belief is stronger
Than your advice
People, they go to war
Because religion gives them
Reason to fight
Sacrifice, die for pride
A group that caters
No one's fees
Or synthetic deities
Is where I belong
My stand is the human race
Without a label or a face
So they can lick my sack
No more judgement day
Only tranquility
Peace signs, protest lines
Mean nothing to me
Honesty born in me
Heresy
How about we trade Duncan for Scalabrine.
C Rasho
PF Scalabrine
The consequences would be devastating.
Playing devil's advocate role here:
(I am not trying to take up for Carter) It could have been a ploy to decoy and set up a score for his teammate, Bonner or someone else... a la a baseball catcher telling the batter a fastball is coming so that he doesn't sit on the curve.
The Raptors may have called for a flare screen to be set for Vince and as he drew extra attention to him going away from the screen, Carter would then pass to the open guy...Bonner in this case. It resulted in 2 points, even though the Raps ultimately lost the game. The play resulted in points.

Hey! It could happen right?

I could very well believe that if the player in question wasn't...
A. Attempting to be traded.
B. Known as a better teammate.
C. Proven to care more about the team than himself.
Very true, Johnny. Sad, but true.
Spurs should have made a deal for Carter. Carter is better than any one or any combination not named Tim Duncan on the Spurs.
Spurs miss out on a trade again.
I would take one Manu over 3 Carters. Carter is nothing but a big whiney . He is almost unmotivatable, the opposite of Manu, who needs to have his minutes monitored because he goes balls to the walll every second. Don't believe the hype. Charels B hit the nail on the head" "Half man, half a season".Carter is better than any one or any combination not named Tim Duncan on the Spurs.
