I'm rooting for the Nets to win lately so the Knicks cannot gain any ground on them. Heh.

the two players i wanted desperately Drew Gooden and Vince are both helping their respective teams tremendously. This suck cuz both could have been had rather easily.

gooden
nazr
vince
jamal
marbury

thats a hell of a team

Yup; at the time, I was unwilling to offer Jamal in a Vince trade, but now it looks like it would have been worthwhile.

I am still glad we didn't trade for Vince. I'm glad we're giving Ariza the starts, which I pray continue once TT is 100%. I also love the contracts we have coming up and am curious to see what what we can get for them.
Taking Rose's contract back was just not worth it.

Very easily...I can't stand the guy. Toronto wanted a package that had JYD, KT, Nazr, and TT (can't remember if they also wanted Penny), for Vince and some bad contracts. If we made that trade, we would only have Baker, Sundov, and Sweets at the 4/5.
If we go on a skid like this with Vince, does he slack off? We have enough guys that don't like to put up an effort, don't want to bring in more.

Carter is far from over the hill. The guys like 27 and playing amazing basketball for the Nets. I think he's avg'ing like 24.5 points 5.5 rebounds and 5.5 assists per game and shooting %45.

the only legitimate concern anyone should have about Carter is his proneness to injury...other than that, he would make a great addition to any team.
After 7 years & 40K+ posts, banned by martin for calling Nalod a 'moron'. Awesome.

vince is an all nba talent.
vince is playing like an all nba player.
vince also dogged it in toronto.
vince also gets hurt very easily.

when you look at vince carter, you have to look at the entire package, the good and the bad. the good, you got a 1st team nba talent. the bad, you got somebody that doesn't give it his all when he's not happy and tends to get hurt.

that's what vince is.

kinda like spree - when he's happy, he's awesome to have around. when he's not, you want him out asap.

The way I see it is do whatever it takes to get the superstars. The Knicks gave up a ton to get Marbury. I had been in favor of acquiring Carter all along, since the summer... yet some people had the audacity to claim Tim Thomas was better. Shameful thing.

I even thought the rumors of Marbury as a centerpiece for a Carter trade would have been cool--- it would have allowed Crawford to play PG--- his more valuable position--- and would have given us a tall, quick backcourt.

But alas... the Nets came up w/ the package. Rod Thorn's an awesome GM... or maybe he's just very lucky. He ended up w/ a scrappy coach w/ no NBA experience who knows how to plug in the pieces. Somehow they've gotten incredibly and timely output out of a team w/ 2 stars and a bunch of CBAers. The game plan is simple enough that the role players can step on the court and contribute

The Knicks biggest flaw continues to be no pure shooters, limited post-up play, and poor spacing. Not quite sure how to fix the mess we're in--- but look for a lot of movement right before the trading deadline when team's are looking for the missing piece. KT/Nazr are both very solid big men that could help almost any contender... Ariza has a buzz around him.

I wonder if New Orleans would be interested in a Baron Davis/Marbury swap...
