It is now becoming quite clear that Carter will not get his wish to be traded.  With that he must return to training camp and face his teammates in preparation for the 2004/2005 season.

"It won't be a major distraction if you're playing hard and giving 100% effort," Raptors General Manager Rob Babcock said. "Otherwise you're not on that court."

Carter?s good friend, guard Milt Palacio, believes Carter will be professional enough to get past the fact that he was not traded.  On whether he Carter might try to sit out training camp Palacio said, "Vince is not a bad guy."   "He'll be here."
