Jun 25, 2009 4:55 PM EST
The New Jersey Nets have agreed in principal to send Vince Carter and Ryan Anderson to the Orlando Magic for Rafer Alston, Tony Battie and Courtney Lee, two league executives told Yahoo! Sports.

The Nets will draft Louisville shooting guard Terrence Willams at No. 11, if he’s still available.

Nets are freeing up cap space bigtime.
After 7 years & 40K+ posts, banned by martin for calling Nalod a 'moron'. Awesome.

Lee was awesome for the magic. If the nets manage to get Rubio & they move to brooklyn, forget it!

so now you have the vince/dwight pairing go up against lbj/shaq.

but as of today, magic have the better supporting cast.

all of the sudden, the celtics are 3rd fiddle...

You're right. Boston is a little old for ORL and CLE.

LOL, my eyes are peeled to the television and I can't type.

Not that big time though. They let Hedo walk then they have yet another hole to fill - one they had at SG they just filled with Vince - now they have a hole at SF or PF if Hedo leaves.

Unless anyone feels that Sheed or Dice are poised to accept an MLE deal and step in there and produce big time what's the point of letting Hedo walk?

If we were in that position do we let Hedo walk? Of course not - we re-sign him to 3yr 30M (he wouldnt settle for 2 years I think - you know to match Vinces contract) and talk about how many rings we might win.

Think about it. You just had a finals team. You just massively upgraded your biggest problem area and you're going to muse that it warrants opening another big problem at forward? Who does this?

I wouldn't.

LOL @ 3 times equivelant to Hedo.

Carter is the better player, its not astronomical.

If Dwight thinks he doesn't get enough touches now, wait till he plays a game with Vince.

i think the reason he was chirping about touches is because he felt his team needed him to have the ball to win games... if u're adding another Allstar like VC to the roster i'm pretty sure he wouldn't have a problem as long as the team is winning games.

I really don't see it being a problem as Vince is a good passer and a willing passer. Combine it with a desire to win and you'll see him being even more team oriented than he already is. Vince is not a gunner unless he has to be. In Orlando, he won't need to be, and he will play the part.

i've always thought Vince would work best as a second fiddle player, & now he's finally got his chance playing w/Dwight... now Hedo &/or Rashard will take their rightful spots as 3rd fiddle scoring options too... this trade makes the Magic very dangerous & a pretty strong lock to be back in the ECF next season at the very least.

I know this is not about the Knicks, but this is a big trade. I thought that Carter was going to Cleveland to be LeBron's Wingman, but he complements Dwight Howard even better.

I like what the magic are doing. They are going for it! They just need a real power forward who can score, rebound, and play D! Did someone mention Paul Millsapp? If they can make a play for Ramon Sessions then they are made.

P.S. Martin: Eat my shorts!

oohah
Good luck Mike D'Antoni, 'cause you ain't never seen nothing like this before!
