Former Toronto Raptors legend Vince Carter looks back on his career with the organization and says he thinks he handled everything in the 'correct way'
Carter became a villain in Toronto. He joked about the booing he was subjected to every time he returned to the city in the years following his trade to New Jersey. It was relentless and loud, he said on a recent podcast with Taylor Rooks.
As Carter tells it, Toronto wanted to move into a new phase with Chris Bosh leading the way. He had conversations with members of the Raptors organization about the direction the team was going and if Toronto wanted to move into a new era, he was OK with it. Toronto dealt Carter in December 2004 in a deal that has gone down as one of the worst in franchise history. Carter went on to play in parts of five seasons for the New Jersey Nets where he twice earned All-Star game honors and led New Jersey to three playoff berths.
