I haven't watched the NBA in a long time, but tonight I got to watch some of the Raptors/Celtics game. I know it's one night, but it looks like losing Carter has helped the Raptors. Bosh and Mo Petersen look like good players to build a team around and Vince Carter was impeding their development.
Carter has the superstar mentality where everything had to go through him. One problem with the NBA is too many players have this mentality (earned or unearned), and unless you're Michael Jordan this doesn't help your team win in the long run.
And if you've read any of my posts before, you know I'll turn this post into an argument for trading Paul Pierce. Pierce doesn't make his teammates better, and he's hindering the development of Jefferson and Allen. Ainge should trade him now because it looks like Pierce's value will continue to plummet.
Back to Vince Carter, a quick question: the Raptors got two first round picks for Carter. Is one of those picks the Nets' pick? If it is, Toronto should be celebrating that Jefferson injury.
