Last year on the Hawks, Carter proved to still be a serviceable role player. He averaged 7.4 points at age 42. For his career, Carter has averaged 17.2 points with a career high of 27.6 points per game as a member of the Toronto Raptors in the 2000-01 season. In addition to the Hawks and Raptors, Carter has played for the New Jersey Nets, Phoenix Suns, Dallas Mavericks, Memphis Grizzlies, and Sacramento Kings.
Now, for his farewell tour is it possible to get him back in the 6ix?
