Baron Davis is a name that keeps surfacing in the Vince Carter saga.  The reason this rumor keeps popping up might be becuase it is pretty much an even trade.

The Factors:

-Both players are reportedly unhappy playing for their respective teams.

-Both are superstars in the prime of their careers.

Using the RealGM Trade Checker software we see that the salaries are very close to an exact match and the trade goes through smoothly.  Tf the trade went through today, Toronto will gain .4 points per game, 2.7 assists per game, while losing .5 rebounds per game.

One of the only stumbling blocks are both players want to remain in their respective conferences, with Davis in the West, and Carter staying in the East.  This could pose a potential problem.

With all the rumors about, the Raptors do not seem to be making any moves on Carter.  Raptors GM Rob Babcock said yesterday that there is no movement involving Carter.
