As he left the stage Sunday afternoon, Vince Carter seemed to accept — through the cheers and standing ovation — that his fate is ultimately in Toronto.
Carter on signing back with the Raptors again: "Whether it's [a] one day [contract] or something, it'll happen. It's supposed to happen I think. I can say that now. I've had a lot of people say it's supposed to happen so now I guess I have to believe it"

Carter is 41 now, and without mincing words too much, reaching the end of his career as a useful role player in the NBA.
