According to Rogers Sportsnet the Toronto Raptors still have not given up hopes of retaining star guard Vince Carter who has maintained that he wants out of Canada for most of the offseason.
Reports indicate that Carter discretely flew from Florida to Toronto Thursday and spent the day in meetings. According to sources a member or members of Raptors brass met with Carter, possibly as a final shot at convincing the Raptors star to forgive and forget club president Richard Peddie. Carter wants Peddie fired, but this scenario appears unlikely to happen as Peddie has full support from the owners, particularly the Teachers Pension Fund.
The article mentions that it is believed the Raptors are exploring deals for the high flyer, with one potential blockbuster that Carter has mentioned to some of his friends seeing the Raptors star heading to Philadelphia, Allen Iverson to Seattle and Ray Allen to Toronto.
