Trade rumor!!!!!

Zydrunas Illgauskas and Darius Miles for Vince Carter.

Doesnt seen like it would work because Vince is a BYC, but it made the frontpage in the main paper in Toronto.

Big news!

Yeah I heard the rumor too. Would be a good trade for both teams IMO. Z looks to have shaken his injury problems and is a very good center and Miles is an excitement machine with plenty of potential. Both would help Toronto, especially with the aging Davis, Z would be a good replacement bigman.

As for the Cavs, well....D-Wag, Davis, Carter, Bron and Boozer!! Damn.

Wont happen though.

Grunwald: Carter is 'untradeable'

The Raptors' GM says Vince Carter isn't on his way to Cleveland.


Toronto Raptors general manager Glen Grunwald says there's no truth to a rumour that Vince Carter could be traded to the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Carter, who missed Toronto's past ten games because of a lingering knee injury, is "untradeable," Grunwald said.

A Toronto Sun report on Saturday suggested that the Raptors might trade Carter to the Cavs for centre Zydrunas Ilgauskas and forward Darius Miles.

The Cavs, with a record of 6-25, are the only team in the Eastern Conference with a worse record than the Raptors, who are 8-21 and have lost five consecutive games.

Toronto scraped into the playoffs last year after Carter left the team for season-ending knee surgery. He has played only 10 games this season, and has twice been sidelined with a recurrence of jumper's knee.

Ilgauskas has also been affected by injury. He has missed large chunks of time over the past few seasons because of sore feet.

Toronto has been ravaged by injuries this season. Neither Carter nor Antonio Davis accompanied the team on its current West Coast road trip. A back injury forced Hakeem Olajuwon into retirement and forward Lamond Murray, acquired from the Cavs in the pre-season, has yet to play after undergoing surgery on his foot.

They can deny all they want, they always deny. They wouldnt come out and say "yeah were going to trade him" because then if the deal doesnt get done, Carter loses his faith in the club.

They will deny until the deal is done. Then pull the trigger.

I dont think it will happen though but I take that denial with a grain of salt.
