Moving a superstar

Vince Carter of the Toronto Raptors wants to be traded. No one seems to want him. At least no one that he returns the want. Toronto wants him. He's their guy. But he doesn't want Toronto. He wants Orlando. But Orlando doesn't want him. He wants Miami. But Miami doesn't want him. He wants New York. New York might want him but they can't afford him. So what is a superstar to do?

Hopefully he acts as a professional and plays. Hopefully, he plays so well that everyone wants him. Let's face it. Despite scoring something like 24 points a game, he has been injured throughout his career. You can't score from the injured reserve list. If Carter wants to be moved he is going to have to tough it out and make it through a full season. Otherwise, there is a good chance he will be unloaded to a bad team just to get him out of town.

I still say Carter is one of the best all-round players at his position. Now we shall see if he is one of the most professional.
