One team capable of making a run at either Carter or Kidd is the Knicks, who wouldn't be scared off by their salaries and have a few interesting young players to offer in exchange. A league insider says that the Knicks have held discussions with New Jersey for Carter in particular. Don't forget that Isiah Thomas tried to acquire Carter from Toronto two years ago. Imagine the buzz he would create in Manhattan.

Unless the Nets receive an unexpected offer they can't refuse, expect them to try reinventing their team around the draft in June, when they'll know Carter's status (to be dealt either in a sign-and-trade or in the form of an expiring contract) and when Kidd may be more tradeable with only two years left on his deal, albeit at a spectacularly rich $40 million.

Frye+Jamal for VC? eh.. who cares

Me. Frye is the only chip that can bring a big piece back and Carter isn't it.

They can have Francis.

i was half kidding

this is a deal, if the Knicks really wanted to make, they shouldn't have waived MoT and Jalen.

Which is kind of why im happy Isiah waived them

If we trade Lee for Carter, I am OUT until Isiah is fired.

LOL @ your knee jerk false reactions.

Vince is ok with gay folk.

Wow this is crazy. I think back when the Raptors had Vince on the block, I would have been tempted but we can't be building around a 30year old SG whose game is based on athleticism. I like Vince, I think he is obviously still a great player, but this team has to target younger players and not older ones. I wouldn't be pissed if we traded Crawford/Frye package but any deal that includes Lee to me is a dealbreaker.
