This is perhaps the most ridiculous post I've ever read. Talk about living in fairy land. If you really think you're going to receive Darko, Ariza and other pieces for Vince after the trading deadline has passed, you need to learn a lot more about the NBA. Sign and trades only occur when the team the player wants to sign for doesn't have enough free cap room, or the player is greedy and wants that little bit extra. The original team never receives much. If Vince is involved in a sign and trade, it will be for scraps and perhaps a draft pick. Ala Tracy McGrady leaving Toronto, or Grant Hill leaving Detroit (which didn't turn out to be just scraps, but Detroit had an agreement with Wallace anyhow).

The Nets will be resigning vince carter. Unless the Magic magically produce over 16 million dollars in cap room to resign him, he will gladly resign with us. At this point, the Magic cant afford sign a player like carter even with the necessary cap room, and then expect to resign a player like Darko.

You guys don't deserve a top 3 shooting guard.

Actually if Vince can get 42 wins and a win in the playoffs Thorn will probably give him a 3 year 60 mill extension. Carter will not take the 11 mill Orlando has. He will take the 17 mill NJ has. Unless Orlando includes Darko and Ariza in a sign and trade which they dont want to do this will not happen.

Oh... meanie in the house... Thanks for your opinion/blatent trolling.

And I'm sure Wade, Kobe and Pierce (hell even Allen and Johnson) are having a good laugh at you reffering to Vince Carter as a top 3 SG.

And Peirce is included in the discussion. Carter is right after Wade and Kobe.

You would actually be ok with giving Vince a 3 year 60 million dollar deal?

The latest reports I heard made it sound like Ratner is willing to go into the luxury tax area to keep him, but take that for what it's worth.

As a Nets fan, if he comes back, I hope there can be some other moves that will better suit the team. And if he leaves, I just hope we can get something decent in return. I wouldn't want to just let him walk.

Carter is right after Wade and Kobe? Hahahahaha!

In terms of traditional shooting guards, Carter is the third most talented in the league. Both Tracy McGrady and Pierce are considered small forwards for the purpose of the argument, considering that they've logged the most minutes at that position over the past 5 seasons.
