Why Vince Carter not signing with the Toronto Raptors was a good thing for both sides

Vince Carter and the Toronto Raptors have spent the last few seasons flirting with the possibility of a pre-retirement reunion. However, his decision to sign with the Atlanta Hawks effectively closes the book on 15’s Toronto story.

“I’ve got one more run in me,” he told ESPN back in July.

Hilariously celebrated for his longevity and ability to stay healthy, Carter has been able to, over time, rebuild his relationship with the team he betrayed many years ago. As many fans know, it hasn’t always been standing ovations for the league’s elder statesman; there used to be “15” baby bibs littering Raptor crowds every time Vinsanity rolled through town.
