The Grizzlies don't need Vince Carter. He was a Superstar. Now he is a fading star. He has never been able to defend; always been soft and overrated. The Nets can keep him.

Deng or Gordon and Thomas or Sefolosha and a 1st round pick and a throw in cap equalizer would be a worthwile deal for Gasol and Cardinal or Swift.

Otherwise, why not just hang onto Gasol? He will be great if we ever find someone who can play enforcer in the paint. AJ or Roberts may be that man. If we land Oden, he will definitely have the potential to be that man. Noah could also end up being this type player in the NBA (because of his competitiveness). Gay and Miller can take care of business on the perimeter. Lowry wil be an excellent point guard for this group.

Gasol is coming off a busy and successful summer and recovering from an injury. Maybe, we shouldn't expect him to be 100% this season. He will probably never be the guy to lead this franchise deep into the playoffs but he definitely has the potential to play a major role. His problem will always be his soft defense. It's hard to win big games/ series in the NBA when your best player is soft on defense, ie Carter.

So please stop trying to push Carter to Memphis. He don't want us and we don't want him.
