<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">The Orlando Magic rejected a potential trade earlier in the week to acquire Vince Carter because they were unwilling to bundle a package of players that included Darko Milicic, Trevor Ariza and Hedo Turkoglu.
The Nets wanted all three in return for Carter, who is expected to opt out of his contract and become a free agent this summer.
"Yes, I talked to Rod [Thorn, Nets general manager] about that [Vince Carter trade],'' Magic General Manager Otis Smith said Thursday. "I won't get into the particulars, but the price was too steep.''
A source in the Eastern Conference with knowledge of the talks between the two teams, confirmed that the Nets were asking for Milicic, Ariza and Turkoglu.</div>
