the east is still very very close with more than half of the year remaining. a lot can happen in that time.

although, vince wasnt playing before they traded him was he? i still think it was a good trade.

carter is market material... and i know quite a few people that would buy his memrobilia if it wasnt purple... well, lets just say they have made some purchases now that the trade has happened.

he is still one of the elite players in the game and with a "TEAM" around him, it will show even more. once he gets settled into the offense and all that he should be the star of the team. well, one of them. kidd still owns.

Vince appeared on the court but he wasn't really playing.

Eric Williams is currently listed as our top small forward but he's rated as "Cold" (and he has been for some time). Aaron Williams is our fourth Power Forward so he doesn't get much time. Alonzo Mourning won't play a game and it will likely cost Toronto $9 million to ensure that (contract buy out):

If Toronto is doing well it's because of Chris Bosh, Mo Pete, Rafer Alston and Jalen Rose. The only good thing the NJ trade did was ensure that the opposition didn't learn our plays.

The only good thing? I disagree. Getting a disgruntled player like that out of town is always a good thing in my book. He's already said that he didn't give it his all when he played with the Raptors -- do you really want someone like that on your team?

The friction between Carter and Toronto began well before the season started when they hired their new coach. Toronto didn't look like they were building for a playoff run this year and it was probably a good move for Carter to find a new team.

Toronto's attendance record was around 12th in the league before the trade, I wonder what it will be like at the end of this season.

A few seasons ago, they did bring in the guys that Carter specifically ask for (Jerome "JYD" Williams for one) and it still didn't work. The team slipped and Carter got injured or chose not to bother. Who paid the price? Not Carter, the GM.

"Wince" Carter is a non-leader. The best of the best.

I'm not mad at the fact that Vince Carter is gone!! I mean, don't get me wrong but Vince was a great player in Toronto and he did actually popularized the sport of basketball here in Toronto but things just got sour with him after awhile. I think Grunwald spoiled him wayy too much by giving him the special treatment and he got everything he could have asked for. I think he's too overated now and can never really reach the status of superstardom as a Micheal Jordan or a Shaq or even a Kobe Bryant. Although Toronto, didn't get much in return for him, things wouldn't have gotten any better if we kept him here. Even New Jersey isn't all that great with him but he is playing better! Still it doesn't take one person to win games, it takes the whole team!

I think Toronto should trade Jalen (and his fat contract) while he's still marketable for some decent young players that could play with Chris Bosh. If they do this, then Toronto will for sure come out as a strong contenter in the future and for sure Toronto got the better deal out of this trade!! Well i guess ish all jus wishful thinking on my behalf but yah never know :D

What's the market like for a 31 year old that isn't a reliable starter? Oh, did I mention that he's also the 16th highest paid player in the NBA?

If any team wanted to take his salary and offer youth in return then I'm sure we'd see it happen.

      This is why competition must exist. Finally, pressure is mounting on Microsoft to move in the right direction.
    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable by Taras Buria Five years ago, Windows 11 introduced redesigned context menus, offering users a simpler, more modern design. However, customers quickly discovered that the new menus leave a lot to be desired. Many are unhappy with performance (they are really slow), while others dislike the double-layed design, where many options are hidden behind the "Show more options" button. In addition, over the years, menus became cluttered and overloaded. While Microsoft has already fixed plenty of pain points across Windows 11, context menus remain mostly unchanged. Fortunately, Microsoft is finally listening. Marcus Ash, Design and Research Lead for Windows at Microsoft, responded to a tweet on X, confirming that the company is working on fixing Windows 11's context menus. Reworked context menus are supposed to be faster, simpler by default, and "configurable to what you use most." What the latter means is unknown, just like whether Microsoft plans to keep the classic menu alongside the modern one, but according to Marcus, the wait should finally be over soon, as he promised to "share our approach soon." Improved context menus will most likely appear first in Windows 11 preview builds in the Experimental Channel. While we wait for Microsoft to release them, you can try fixing context menus on your PC with a simple tool called Windows 11 Context Menu Manager. It lets you disable entries you do not need, not only cleaning up context menus, but also making them significantly faster. Microsoft has already improved Windows 11's Start menu and taskbar, so hopefully it will address user criticism of the context menu as well. Stay tuned for new Windows 11 preview builds, which usually arrive every Friday.
