james is totally going to bail on the cavs, and leave them like the knicks. tons of huge contracts for ham and eggers, and over the hill "cagey" vets.

That would be an intresting combo. But I think Carter is or on his way to being washed up

Hank Hill | 06/28/08, 09:03 AM

I think Carter is a good trade for a second scorer. to be quite honest, he could be the primary scorer for a team and even a franchise player if he didn't get injured so much. a franchise player can be soft, but if so he needs an enforcer on his team. Since Miami could use another great scorer and seemingly are going with chalmers at the point, and since Dwade gets injured, I wouldn't mind seeing them trade for carter (to start at sf and play some sg)l and the center nj had last year for maybe Haslem and Ricky Davis. It would fill two spots for the heat and then they could play blount at his natural position since he's too soft for the center. also they could play darnell (the draftee) at pf also and begin developing him.

If given a pistol and a badge, Carter couldn't guard a tree. He can score, but defense wins championships. Look at Phoenix, Dallas and Denver. They can all score, but none made it out of the first round.

New Jersey may go for Bron, but that's like expecting to get the No. 1 pick in the draft. May happen, but don't count on it.

For those people that don't think Carter brings anything to the table, if this deal would happen, I think you'd be terribly surprised. So much of a players success or failure depends on the people around him. Carter may not be able to carry a team, but with LeBron, if he were to stay healthy, the sky's the limit.

should of happened end of story

winkstrap | 06/28/08, 09:39 AM

Do it New Jersey!!!!!!!!!

Denis24: Dream > Redeem | 06/28/08, 09:55 AM

I want Carter out of town as nets fan, but geez come on....your talking about trading Carter and Jefferson, your two best players and scorers for.... Yi Jianlian, bobby Simmons, and Wally Szerbiak??? At least get something for these guys..

jabbawockeez | 06/28/08, 10:45 AM

they got something for jefferson
(yi is a chinese money making machine lets hope it holds up better than their electronics!)

carter has a long term deal on big cash with an injury history thats why he has no trade value

winkstrap | 06/28/08, 10:52 AM

carter is useless so they wont get anything better than wally for him. They should be considered lucky to even get an offer that good

Canadian Kid | 06/28/08, 11:52 AM

This is a BOGUS story.

Rod thorn- would've JUMPED for joy to unload Carter & his large contract.
And to get an expiring one in return ? EVEN BETTER

NBA sucks

Where does the logic that Carter is injury-proned come from? In the last 3 years, he's played 79, 82, and 76 games. If I'm Cleveland, I'd pull the trigger on this deal in a heartbeat.

Hllywd: Old Schoolin' | 06/28/08, 12:00 PM

hllywood i am aware he hasnt missed many games the last few years

he has been slowed down due to previous injuries and hes only 31 remember him in toronto?

he aint what he used to be (jumpers knee.)

winkstrap | 06/28/08, 12:13 PM

"If I'm Cleveland, I'd pull the trigger on this deal in a heartbeat."

You would HAVE TO......
that being said-
I think vince would seriously hamper LBJ's play.

Vince is a ball hog, has never learned to play without the ball.
LBJ would be ready to kill him by mid-season

jgb | 06/28/08, 12:14 PM

otherone81 and puck swallows - move it along you loser

winkstrap | 06/28/08, 12:15 PM

The Nets should have taken the deal. Vince Carter is softer than Carvel Ice Cream

salvaje50 | 06/28/08, 12:18 PM

hllywd i said 'injury history' - not injury prone big difference matey.

i still like him as a playa its just that he aint a winner so he needs to go to 1 or a team with other stars

winkstrap | 06/28/08, 12:20 PM

I am a mavs fan and I feel we got a bit fleeced in the J kidd trade, regardless of our first round exit. I think NJ is hoping for a pick in there or something. lots of talk about bron bron coming over in 2010, fact is it almost certainly won't happen. other then shaq moving teams, what other player has ever taken less to move?
NJ appears to be doing a good job acquiring young talent.

dfwpjc | 06/28/08, 12:23 PM

Carter is a good trade. He is on the down-side of his career, but he could be a scary 2nd option.
