<{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>Vince Carter on the Lakers could create a commotion across all B-Ball forums. Imagine Vince fans arguing who is the better of the 2, Kobe or VC.
Could the internet survive?

of course i cant speak for all the vince fans out there but for me..
1. its obvious. kobe is better. kobe is vince with a
<strike>killer instinct</strike> sociopathic personality. no debating.
2. its
[not] all about winning. vince has had individual glory. its time to complete his nba journey and win. vince is near the top of the most unselfish guys in the league and i think he would be a great fit to compliment a
<strike>kobe and gasol</strike> Chris Paul, Deron Williams, Brandon Roy, Greg Oden, Steve Nash, or Shaquille O'Neal.

A few slight modifications that reflect my own viewpoint as a Vince fan.
The only development I can imagine that would make me stop following Vince's career before he retires is for him to become a teammate of Kobe "Rapist" Bryant, one of the few guys in the league who can make Jason Kidd seem personally virtuous by comparison. I'll follow Vince to a perrennial cellar dweller. I'll follow him to the Knicks, even (forgive me, Lord.) But please, Thorn, don't ever make him teammates with the most repugnant personality in professional sports.

Oh please stop. Rapist““ Kobe may not be a stand up NBA player but that whole rapist situation was Shullbit to the fullest. You can talk about Kobe all you want personally but what he does and brings to court puts him in conversation of not only best in the game but ever. Can u say the same about VC?
Don't get it twisted.
Any way to stay on the subject. If I was the GM the first thing that would take my focus would be Vince Carter. I know the VC fans are going scream injuries and cry because I feel he needs to be relocated. The thing is his contract is horrible and with a young team as the Nets they need a leader and a vet who can lead team.
It's not a knock on the man but this situation is not the right one for him or the nets. Look at KG I remember saying last yr when KG was traded he will turn Boston to a contender and will be in the MVP race.
KG has brought an intensity and a whole new attitude to his team.
Second I would make Krstic a fair offer but I would not break the bank on another 7 footer who can hit outside shots, can't rebound well and is bullied in the paint by players 6-9. In all I feel Krstic would be a great player to come off the bench which still might be in his future if he doesn't improve.
to be continue have to sleep

Im a Carter fan and I'm not crying and screaming injury. I know when Carter is playing without passion and when he is and im not ready to defend him.
Secondly, Carter leaving the nets in the short term wont happen, the team will be worst off and they wont get much value from a trade.
In the
long term, I see Carter getting moved for some young players with potential who are cap friendly.
