Report: Raptors offer Vince, Rose to Hornets
http://www.sportsnet.ca/nba/article.jsp?content=20040728_234516_5008

Vince Carter has yet to comment on the numerous trade talks surrounding his future, maybe now will be the time?

Sportsnet.ca - A trade involving Raptors' franchise Vince Carter and teammate Jalen Rose is lighting up the airwaves in New Orleans, according to WGNO, the cities' local television station.

According to the radio report, Toronto has offered Carter and Rose in exchange for P.J. Brown and Canadian Jamaal Magloire. The deal reportedly will include an undisclosed amount of cash. It is no secret in Toronto that Vince Carter is unhappy with his exclusion from the Raptors' off-season revamping of its front office and coaching staff.

Also: MoPete returning to Raps

Carter has yet to comment on the ordeal, but on several occasions has voiced his discontent with executive Richard Peddie. Carter's closest friends have revealed the star wouldn't return to the Raptors unless Richard Peddie, president and CEO of Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment Ltd., consultant Jack McCloskey, and director of player personnel Jim Kelley, were all fired.

"In due time. I'm definitely going to fill everybody in when it's time," said Carter, who will host his annual charity all-star game July 30th at the Air Canada Centre. "I have nothing to say right now, but I promise in due time."

Magloire, a 6'11 centre, is a native of the city, and has hinted in the past about his desire to play in front of his friends and family. Last season with the Hornets, Magloire averaged 13.7 PPG, while posting 10.3 RPG. Brown, a 6'11 forward, led the team in FG percentage while averaging 10.3 PPG.

In Jalen Rose, the Hornets would get a skilled guard while adding the marquee player needed to play alongside Baron Davis.

Sorry for this, I didn't even checked for the salary. In fact, when I read it, I felt from my chair and had to be taken to the hospital so that I could have an emergency surgery on my broken arm.

When I came back, you guys had already replied so I couldn't check the validity of this trade and erasing the post.

My bad.

PS : my arm is going better, thanks for asking.

All is well with Carter: Raps



By STEVE BUFFERY, TORONTO SUN




RAPTORS GM Rob Babcock sat down with Vince Carter this week and walked away confident No. 15 will play in Toronto this season. "I don't see a problem," Babcock said yesterday from Halifax, where he is attending the Under-21 Tournament of the Americas. "We're on the same page. As far as him playing on our basketball team, I feel very comfortable about that and I see him coming to camp and I don't see him being distracted by anything."

Babcock and head coach Sam Mitchell sat down with Carter earlier this week after Vinsanity arrived back to Toronto for his annual Charity All-Star Game, which will be held tomorrow night at the Air Canada Centre.

Rumours have swirled for months that Carter wants out of Toronto, although Carter himself has not said as much.

Babcock said his meeting with Carter went very well and that the team's superstar was enthusiastic about returning to play in Toronto.

"Any time Sam and myself have sat down and talked with him, we've been on the same page," Babcock said. "We talked about the team and what we want to do and I really don't see any issues. He really seems to be falling in line over what we're trying to do."

Babcock reiterated he would only trade Carter if it made the Raptors a considerably better basketball team, but added that he has not initiated any trade talks for Carter.

Ticket sales for Carter's charity game seem to be going slower than in recent years.

The past three games have been sellouts (19,800) at the ACC, establishing an NBA attendance record for a league-sanctioned charity game.

As of Monday, only around 10,000 had been sold and that may have to do with Carter's refusing to publicly commit unequivocally to the team for the upcoming season.
