The New Jersey Nets have no plans to trade guard Vince Carter during the offseason, according to the New York Daily News.
Although the Nets are out of playoff contention, Carter is earning high praise from his coach, Lawrence Frank.
"A lot of people sign up and love it when it's good," Frank told the Daily News. "Vince has embraced this situation; he's been able to take the good with the bad. His character has shown throughout and that's what captains do. You have to take the good with the bad. Just because the water's a little choppy doesn't mean you get out of the boat."
Carter, who is averaging, 20.8 points, 5.1 rebounds and 4.7 assists, is due roughly $34 million over the next two seasons, which makes him extremely difficult to deal to cash-strapped NBA franchises. The 10th year pro is on track to play in 80 or more games for just the third time in his NBA career.
