Another source said there had been preliminary discussions on a three-way trade that would include, among other things, Carter going to the New York Knicks, Eddy Curry to Miami and the expiring contracts of Jason Williams and Ricky Davis to New Jersey.

Tell you what. Isiah staying would be bad enough but this would push me over the edge. I wouldn't take it. Many clueless idiots will run to the Garden to see "Vince Catah dawg" but this is one of the worst trades I've ever seen. Like I said, I'm teetering on the edge. I never thought I'd be in this position but this is just unbearable at this point.

If this happens then I want to request certain posters on this site be instantly banned.

This trade is maddening.

To be honest if true this could turn into a 4 way because New Jersey is in heated discussion for a Carter/O'neal swap. That would mean O'neal comes here with Carter going to Indiana. Then those expirings get flipped to New Jersey. I SAY UGH still feels we're playoff bound so who knows. Picks will be sacrificed also.

honestly, i wouldn't be totally against JOneal - the guy blocks 3 shots a game when he's healthy... i would jump off a bridge if we get Carter.

for starters Carter does something nobody else on the team is willing or perhaps capable of doing:

PASS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

besides lazy Vince is still 10x's the guard Crawful Q-Rich and Nate are combined

Vince has proven he can't be a leader. Playing with JKidd added years to his career because Kidd forced him to play... here he would whine and sulk and be Marbury 2 or Francis 2 in like a month. His contract is insane.

VC has a worse contract than EC. But talent-wise its a no-brainer. Kills our cap space dream though.

agreed that Vince is a better G than anyone we got, but u have to think about how much he would really improve us or address any needs... he's not a good defender & he doesn't block shots really, so to take on that contract which pretty much keeps us in the same cap hell we're currently in, it's not that great of an idea to most (including myself)... at least w/JO u get the final year off Curry's deal, which u don't get w/Vince, plus he's a shotblocker & shores up our frontcourt D, something we desperately need at this point.

i'd prefer to get the expirings & draft picks if possible tho.

and what exactly is Curry to become? the dream he'd opt-out is just that a dream. I believe the 4th year on Carter's contract is a team option.

McK1, the last year on Vince's deal is a team option but that kicks in after the 2011 season, so pretty much their deals run the same length, only Vince makes more money so ur spending more in dollars overall.

i'd trade Curry for expirings rather than have Carter dogging it here for the next four years. he would be the definition on untradeable.

The difference between trading EC for VC, even though contracts are the same length, would mean we'd have $6mil less to offer to a MAX player. I'd rather hold onto EC and just let his contract expire than replace him with a guy who makes even more.

Jermaine O'Neal has more mileage on the knees and a worse contract than anyone being discussed and he hasn't led a team to anything remotely resembling contender since Artest jumped in the stands in Detroit.

for that money he ain't worth whateva block stats he puts up.

yeah, really, neither is a good idea... I'd just hate to see NJN get JOneal, you know they'd beat us senseless for another five years.

i think JOneal is a guy who could get results with the right surrounding cast. look at KG, only made it out of the first round once in his life, with a lot of sam cassell and spree help, and this year he's looking like a good shot to go to the Finals. I think JOneal with the right cast can get to the Finals.

I feel the same about Vince. the fact that he demands a double but is unselfish to a fault might actually work on a team where 85% of the guys here want to do nothing but shoot.
