But, as point guard, Devin should try to be the one leading.

Kidd was still almost averaging triple doubles when he left the Nets...not sure why you think he was a quitter.

VC on the other hand has always been viewed as the underachiever. His game shows exactly how apathetic he is when he plays. His flashes of brilliance show what he can be all the time.

But, what can you do...it runs in the family. (ref. TMac)

because first he said he didn't demand a trade then he came out and said he did, that to me is a quitter, if he kept his mouth shut, then I wouldn't think of him as a quitter, but demanding a trade is quiting, at least he wanted to be traded to a good team to go to we could have sent him to portland

Kidd's not a quitter. Nothing wrong w/ wanting to play on a good team in the twilight of your career. The Mavs provided him that opportunity, the Nets didn't. Atleast he didn't slack off while a Net, as Carter did w/ the Raptors and at times w/ the Nets even. Kidd will not be boood when he comes back to NJ whereas Carter is always bood at Toronto

Vince Carter on the other hand is an apathetic loser. One of those players whose stats ominously spike up when they're playing for a contract, then come back down when their contract is given.

Kidd won't be get as many boo's as Carter does for sure, but I don't think he will get a great welcome back like Iverson did in philly, I mean I don't think he will get a standing ovation. I know on Net message boards lots of people have said they won't cheer him, so he will deff get some boo's, just not as many, Raptor fans are bitter, 5 years after it even if Carter is a quitter it is time to get over it, but then again any player who can have great games when hearing all those boos, got to give him credit, so it is better no on boo's Kidd so he doesn't have fire

Rod Thorne came out and said that Kidd didn't play as hard in his last days as a Net. That was one of the reasons they gave in to his trade demand.

if you were a Nets fan, you could see Kidd was still good, but at the same time just not trying hard like you said in this comment.

so this may have been posted already, but i didn't really want to read through the entire thread...

Saw this on TV the other day and thought it was pretty funny. Harris lands in a crowd of laker girls and doesn't want to leave:

I thought Vince Carter gets boo'd in Toronto because they're pissed off he left lol. Bosh will get the same treatment after he bolts.

Carter wanted to be traded, but then again the players who the traded for him didn't want to be there, so can you really blame carter for wanting out. mourning refused to show up and then I think it was Eric Williams how said he didn't want to play for the Raptors and said they could send him the the worst team in the nba

[Tokey41]

The Raptors were absolutely screwed in that deal, Mourning is a quitter as well. He should have been man enough to play out his contract instead of whining where he was getting sent to... its a business. And Aaron and Eric Williams? Uber scrubs.

I think it was best for the Raptors to get rid of Carter's negative attitude. The fact that all they could find for him was that awful package tells me a lot of teams didn't want to risk him quitting on them as well. It's always best to keep your mouth shut if you an athlete.

I think he openly admitted to quitting on the Raptors, or atleast insinuated. Surely was supported by the sudden spike in his productivity upon the completion of the trade.

thank you for saying this, I couldn't agree more, i don't care who it is it could be Lebron, Kobe, Carter, Dirk, Kidd, Iverson, etc all should keep their mouth shut.
