Carter made the team relevant, guided them to the second round of the playoffs, but was ultimately traded to the New Jersey Nets for nothing. Vansanity (as he was nicknamed) was one not only the most popular player on the Raptors but was one of the most popular players in the NBA. He was the best dunker in the league, as highlighted by the famous 2000 NBA Dunk Contest and he made everyone in Toronto proud that he was ours.
Co-owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob Mac sanctioned a summer net spend of more than 30m as Wrexham overhauled their squad to give themselves the best possible chance of being competitive in the second tier.

Saturday's defeat at home to Brentford means Wolves have taken just two points for 17 games. No side in the entire history of English league football, in any division, has ever made a worse start than that.

Well Miami Marlins fans, are you of the glass half-full or glass half-empty persuasion? Or to put it more simply, just how much do you hate the New York Mets.

Pete Alonso? Gone. Edwin Diaz? Not just gone, but a bleeping Dodger.
Carter Verhaeghe was picked in the third round, 82nd overall, by the Maple Leafs during the 2013 NHL entry draft. He didn't play a game with the Leafs before being included as a throw-in as part of a five-for-one trade to acquire speedster Michael Grabner from the New York Islanders. Grabner played one forgettable season in Toronto, scoring nine goals in 80 games.
