It was worth the millions they paid him to leave just so they wouldn't have to listen to him cry all the time.

If you look at that trade now, it was more of a salary dump than anything else. They have saved about $45 million over the course of Carter's and Rose's contracts.

Ironic that the Nets still have the remaining pick from the Martin trade and the Raptors dont have any picks left, having traded the Nuggets pick to the Knicks.

Mr.Montross

A) Shows us Babcock wasn't as big an idiot as everyone thought he was.

B) Raptors still have their own pick, don't they?

C) Raptors traded a team cancer (Jalen Rose) along with Denver's first round pick for Antonio (expiring contract) Davis. So Raptors traded a cancer and a non-lottey pick for the Bird Rights to an old bigman that can still contribute and $16 mil off their salary cap. Are you saying that was a bad trade for the Raptors?

When Babcock made this deal, I believe he had two objectives in mind.

1. Dump as much salary as possible.

2. Get Carter out of town immediately so the team could start building a new identity.

I think those were both worthy ideas and they have been successful so far.

By hanging onto Carter longer, they would only have delayed the inevitable. By doing the deal sooner rather than later, he gave his team the chance to get through the rough times right away and get back on track more quickly.

Babcock deserves another chance to run a team. He made unpopular decisions and lost his job to a guy who built a great team from nothing.

And Eric Williams may be movable this upcoming season too.

So basically they traded with the Nets for 2 2nd rounders, Joey Graham, Eric Williams and having to pay out Zo instead of expiring deals with the Knicks.
