The idea of getting Carter is intriguing, but to me it has to be preceded or followed by about 3 or 4 other trades.

The first is getting Ben Wallace from Chicago (Ford said there is a standing offer of Malik and Q-which Chicago doesn't want).

The second is trading for Mike Miller and Kyle Lowery(Crawford and Fred Jones?)

The Third is getting Zach Randolph out of here and opening up the PF spot for David Lee(Randolph to Denver for Najera, Smith(Both FA's at end of year), and Hunter).

Wallace
Lee
Carter
Miller
Lowry

What's that team going to do other than lose games?


Again...for the love of god people need to stop thinking this team is fixable.

Tear it entirely down. Then start adding pieces to a mix of kids and draft picks a few years from now.

Stop taking other people's garbage.


This trade should read Curry and Crawful for JWill and Davis. That's what this trade should be and nothing less.

Of course Isiah wants OKneel and Wince. I'm not surprised. I'm also not surprised that Isiah and his few remaining supporters think such trades are a ticket to success.

I don't know how much more I can take of this crap......I already can't stand more than half the players on this team and that's sad.

who is going to trade a draft pick for anyone on NY? the entire league knows NY is FUBARed with all the redundant pieces with bloated deals Isiah kept acquiring.

I will remain in the minority I suppose in thinking adding Vince and getting rid of Curry plus Q or Jeffries will actually benefit the team. don't need half-man half amazing Vince, just the one who still commands a double and can beat it with ball movement.

Anybody can instantly fix the problem by switching from Manhattan Knicks to Brooklyn Nets.
The name is not as important as the spirit. And spirit of the bbal is vacating his Manhattan residence and leaving to Brooklyn where it always belongs

We're clearly gonna be looking towards the draft to find the next franchise player for this team, so what the heck do we want with an aging Vince Carter?

THINK PORTLAND! THINK NEW ORLEANS! PG and Athletic shotblocking/rebounding Center!

I don't think you can even argue that Vince sells tickets anymore, no one went to Nets games and his jersey isn't even in the top15 anymore.

to establish a winning atmosphere, you need guys who can play whether you have enough overall talent and chemistry to win 25 or 50.

thats the reason even though they had a young Lebron Ferry chose to sign Z at 29 going on 30 years old to that 4 year extension rather than throw it to some youthier hopeful like Curry.

thats the reason Detroit resigned McDyess even though they had Max and Amir waiting in the wings.

thats the reason Cassell got re-signed and Brev is still around

thats the reason NO was patient with Peja

thats the reason Boston traded for 30 plus bad ankle Ray Allen

thats the reason Phx traded for Shaq

and so on and so forth...

if the cost is o more than Curry and one or best case two of our irrelevant swing men, I say GET'ER DONE!!!!!

vince carter detracters suffer from "he should've been jordan" syndrome.

vince the past 2 seasons:

06/07: 82 games, 45 fg% (19.5 fga), 35.7 3fg% (5.4 3fga), 80 ft% (7 fta), 6 rebs, 4.8 asts, 1 stl
07/08: 48 games, 45 fg% (16.6 fga), 33 3fg% (3.5 3fga), 80 ft% (5.8 fta), 5.6 rebs, 5.2 asts, 1 stl

even in the "wince" stage of his career, he's better than 85% of the leagues sg's.
