Man, I'd love to see the Raptors try to screw him over for this. He didn't try for us. Fine we had a contract that paid you x-dollars. You didn't try, we wan't half of it back, see you in court. Oooooh that'd be one hell of a ground breaking case, it would have terrible effect on professional sports, but it would be entertaining to see Carter get his.

I'd love to see it, but the Raptors would never win and it would just be a waste of their time and money

Yeah, they woudln't have a chance, and
I'm pretty sure the contract doesn't say anthing about playing your best, so they woudln't have much to stand on. It'll never happen, but I like do dream some times. [/b][/quote]
The NHL standard player contract does, in article 2c:
"...to give his best services to the Club and to play hockey only for the Club unless his contract is released, assigned, exchanged or loaned by the Club..."
Highly likely that the NBA has a similar clause, but I'm too lazy to look it up. Not saying there's a lawsuit in the making, but it's probably in the contract.
