Knicks nearly traded for Vince Carter — James Dolan reveals why they didn’t
NY Post
If James Dolan could go back and change history, Vinsanity would have starred on Broadway — not off the New Jersey Turnpike.
During a Thursday appearance on the “Roommates Show” podcast hosted by Knicks stars Jalen Brunson and Josh Hart, Dolan, the team’s executive chairman, explained that the trade he wished he could go back and do would’ve been bringing Vince Carter to the Garden.
Apparently, the Knicks were going to complete a trade for the Hall of Famer, but team’s medical team told the front office that Carter had a “90 percent severed Achilles tendon and that it would never hold up,” Dolan said.
“And once it ruptured, he’d never be the same player, and for that reason, we didn’t do the trade,” Dolan said, not specifying when the possible trade would have occurred.
The Knicks owner jokingly added: “Vince Carter went on to have five, six, seven years. I kept waiting for his Achilles tendon to break, it never broke.”
“Yup, we certainly dodged a bullet there, didn’t we,” Dolan said sarcastically.
