What???

I disagree that we need to trade for a veteran. I think Roy and Outlaw are our veterans. Let's let the cake bake.

Link? or when? And why??

He was interviewed in the 3rd and talked about the Blazers moving some of their young pieces for Vince Carter. He said he hasn't heard anything but that it might be a good idea for the Blazers.

It's fun to think about. Martell, Serg and Batum/Frye for Vinsanity?

**KingSpeed** · 07-17-2008, 09:40 PM

He just said it during the summer league games that's on right now. He says we need a veteran and someone like Vince Carter would work great with our team.

It was just an example, he didn't mean he thought he was a perfect fit and was definately being talked about.....

Considering NJ just gave up Jefferson for young pieces/expiring contracts, I bet the Nets would take on Raef and a young guy, possibly Sergio or Webster.

They're looking to set themselves up for the LeBron sweepstakes. But even so, I think Vince would be a chemistry killer on our team, demanding and taking away shots from Roy/Aldridge/Oden/Outlaw/Rudy.

lets not get it twisted... vince wouldnt take or demand shots away from ANYONE. hed be there to give passes, take passes, and hit his shots off those passes. hes a phenomenal entry passer. so long as oden or aldrige has got position and knows how to accept a pass(no big guy vince has played with has been consistenly able to have soft hands) your gonna see him making like easier for greg. imo hed do really well in portland. and id be pleased to see him there.

New Jersey would obviously trade Carter to us for picks and young talent, but it is a HORRIBLE idea for Portland to get Carter. All he can do is score, and we don't need it. We don't need another play maker, we don't need another scorer. Why pay him his GIANT contract when we can get a veteran to do the dirty work for 5-6 mil a year?

Aldridge isn't the brightest fish in the pond and was probably paid by NJ to say that.

Who are you kidding? He literally sabotaged a team up in Canada so he could get traded. He dogged his way into a trade. He is in the declining curve of his career and is not a good fit for this team. He is 31 yr old and plays the same position as Brandon Roy and Rudy. The guy is a loser.

Hephaestus · 07-17-2008, 10:16 PM

How about David Aldridge trades Kenny Smith and the DVDs of Season 3 of The Closer for Vince Carter, and leave us out of it, hmm?

i cant take you seriously. first you bring up something from about 5 years ago to define a guy then you make a comment that lets me realize you know not a single thing about what you are talking about. including the 04-05 season that vince went to the nets hes played in 314 out of a possible 328 games. not a single one of those seasons was under 75 games played. and one was a full 82. on the declining curve? really he was like one of 5 or 6 guys last season to average at least 20 5 and 5. his assist and rebounding numbers were the best in his entire career. the nets didnt make the playoffs because of the Nets problems. not because of carters shortcomings.

EDIT: you should have left the original part of your post where it said he is always injured for NJ. just because i called you out on that nasty doesnt mean you had to punk out and edit it out.

Regardless, I wouldn't want Carter on Portland. If we wanted to go after a vet I would rather overpay for Prince.

ThatBlazerGuy · 07-17-2008, 10:23 PM

I disagree that Vince would be a bad addition. First off, he is going to be much better than anyone we could get with our cap room. In addition, he is a known 'deferrer'. He isnt and has never been a 'go to guy' who will be selfish. I would easily deal Raef, Webster, Sergio, Ike and a 2009 protected 1st for him. But I would not go higher than that.

His deal ends right around when I think Batum will be ready, and his passing skills would be the ultimate compliment to LMA and Oden.
