Why Nets didn't trade Vince

Maybe because he's the best SHOOTER the NETS have PLUS a DRAWING CARD...Dah

A very good decision by the Nets to have kept Carter. You just don't give away a player like him. Now if they could only get that Yi guy to start playing well and consistently, ....

I beg the differ if they were smart they would have taken a much younger outlaw and rodriguez plus lafreantzs expiring contract for carter who is on a decline... carter isnt a superstar anymore and they wanted to much for him... and yes i know my spelling sux

all the talent and no heart will not get him far. half-man and half-amazing and his cousin half-man and half-season T-Mac both just can't seem to get it done come playoffs.

They wished it was a smart decision. They are just covering their behind and not alienate Carter. They tried so hard to move him but they think they can get somebody like Amare. Are you kidding me? There were so many teams that were willing to give some of their young and promising players. They are trying to get something for the crap they are giving.

Without him they are toast!

Thorn knows he can get someone the caliber of Harris for Carter. People will come calling during the off-season when they get swept in the playoffs by Boston or Lakers in the first round. If not we will go through this next year until Thorn gets what he wants.

Team GMs are afraid of Thorn. The guy is a hustler and they are afraid to get hustled. He has gotten the best of a few GMs already.

If Outlaw was offered they should have take the deal. At the age of 33 years old making upwards of 17 million dollars. It was a bad move by the Nets. Thorn should have work the phone harder.

If Yi and Lopez turns into a 20 point scorer, Carters numbers will drop and making 17 million falling below the 20 point level nobody will take him. If those 2 guys don't develop, then the Nets I believe can still trade him. His value wil be determine by these 2 guys. Lopez I believe will get it, but Yi is a maybe.

But regardless at the age of 33 years old and numbers dropping by the season. I don't see how the Nets will be able to trade him. Looks good now but it will come back to haunt them.

listen alrite im realle gettin sick of listen to all this **** from ppls mouths onhow vince is decline ... either u guys r retarded and hav no clue wat basketball is or ur jst followers of wat everyone else says bout vince ... i think personally vince is havin the greatest part of his career now in these past seasons wit the Nets ... in toranto it was all about him no one was around him to take his star light ... when he came to the Nets the likes of J Kidd and RJ surrounded him notice how they called it the BIG EFFIN THREE not vince and the other two ... he played 2 3 yrs wit players that werent selfish and learned that it takes a team to win a championship not an ass who looks to dunk the ball then relax and watch it on the bigscreen replay ... once the departure of Kidd and RJ vince didnt go bk to his **** routine of playin selfishly his assest rebs r both up thats y his pts r down not bc hes decline bc hes decidin to pass the damn ball where everyone else says he nv does that and all he cares about his is own shot nah peeps vince aint in toranto any more hes grown and knos how to play the game ... hes havin the best part of his career rite now so stop this crap about him being old and **** with age comes wisdom and thats wat is bein shown by vince

Thorn is actually smarter than some people give him credit for. I said all along that the idea can be revisited after the season, but it makes no sense to decimate this team for a case of Gatorade.

I'm just glad he didn't go to Portland. Looks like he's gonna join the ranks of players who have great numbers during the season, are fan favorites, and all-stars yet fail to win the one thing every players career is judged by... rings. To be regarded as a true great you gotta win a ring!

Wilt, Russell, MJ, Shaq, KG, Tim Duncan.. you get the point.

If they can't get anything for him now they won't get anything later at the end of the season or the season after. The market is determine by buyers and not sellers. If it was determine by sellers, Thorn would have gotton more then a case of Gatorade as the seller price. Every GM know what Carter is worth. Funny how people say the Nets stole Carter but in reality that is what carter is worth and is showing in this market. A bunch of bench warmers is his worth.

In his final year , he will be a salary fill in for a trade. Bad move by the Nets.

Carter is the only draw the franchise still has but if Portland was giving up Lafrentz, Outlaw and Rodriguez then the Nets should have taken that deal. Financially it would have been a smart move and for a rebuilding franchise it would have been a better move to get younger.The good thing is that Carter still has some value so a deal could still be had in the off-season when there could be more suitors involved.

No kidding I can't believe the Nets didn't want that trade...I like that move by Portland too.

Rodriguez and Outlaw are good players but...they are who we thought they are. Am not holding out too much hope for development to stardom.

*I would have liked that move by portland

I see your point too.

If the Nets don't make the playoffs though this nontrade might rear its ugly head.

My guess is the only team that wanted him was the Rockets whose only barganing tool needs mystery surgery.

barkley, kidd, kevin johnson, payton, malone, stockton, ewing, reggie miller, mashburn, nique, should i keep going or are there more players that simply aren't good cause they didn't win a ring?

The fact that you would make such statement shows your lack of understanding of the game. A ring is an indication of the people you were surrounded with. Many Hall of Famers left the game without having won a championship. Francisco Elson has a ring, and Charles Barkley doesn't. Who would you rather go to war with?

Sorry JC; my comment wasn't directed at you, but Scottish-Baller.
