NOTE FROM THE FORUM OWNER:

We had a long, enjoyable run, and I would like to thank every Orlando Magic fan who contributed to our small community on the web. This message board will be left online as an archive into the thoughts and minds of a group of Magic fanatics who lived through a 21-win season, the drafting of Dwight Howard, and an eventual NBA Finals appearance.

Special thanks to our Staff Members: Black and Blue, MAGICMANEVAN, and NYCMagicFan!

But that opportunity might come Nov. 22 at Air Canada Centre when the player who demanded out of Toronto after six-plus seasons will be….. honored by the franchise as part of their 15th anniversary celebration.

The Raptors say they will first ask Carter if he wants to go through with a ceremony, realizing the backstory.

"Everybody wants to know how we can do it, but Vince is part of the history here," Raptors General Manager Bryan Colangelo told the Sentinel. "Most of the people that he had problems with here are gone."

Interesting. I wonder what the crowd reaction will be like.

He would get booed just like Shaq does in Orlando. They can honor him, but they should do it in a private ceremony or something. Don't know why they would want to honor someone at the game when he will get booed. Just like if the Magic wanted to honor Shaq at a game. It doesn't make any sense.

Yeah, it almost seems silly. The fans will have a field day with him.

I was looking at a Raps board after the game (that's where I found out about this), and it looks like a lot of them are saying that they'll likely cheer (or politely clap at least) during the ceremony, but then boo Carter during the game.

I guess that makes sense, lol.

LOL, some might say that on a message board but I still would be shocked if there weren't any booing going on during the ceremony.
