Nice that he mentioned Hite. If he makes the roster, he could potentially be a key contributor off the bench.</p>

Well when asked about Jason being healthy, Vinces left eye twitched like he knew something bigger was wrong. I'm guessing but I'mgoing to go with that Kidd is out for the season.</p>

Also when stating that nobody else wanted him, he repeatly called Rob Babcock to apoligize but he didn't want anything to do with him. They were officailly over.</p>

Happy?</p>

So what? We mods are talking about conversation and how it is dead in most forums, well this is what leads to it. One liners that make no discussion that just lead to nowhere. If more is added, then we have something to argue about, or discuss.</p>

Couldn't a PM have handled it? Instead of insulting him?</p>

</div></p>

Yes. And with that, let's get back on topic, eh?</p>

</p>
 
good to see Carter is happy and, as others said, I like how he threw Hite's name in the list of people we've aquired. One of the beat reporters said Hite did a move today in practice that reminded him of a "left-handed Dwayne Wade" . Wow. that's a statement. Here's hopeing that we keep him, and it seems VC wants him on the team...

I am trying to add to this site. I'm sorry that I didn't feel the need to add more. Next time I'll refrain from posting if I don't have a deeper thought about the subject.</p>
 
Sorry to get off topic yet again,</p>

I know as a mod, I should handle things in a professional way, but the Nets mod should of picked this up. I want this site to be a very good site with quality, so I didn't mean to be immature about it, but I won't let it happen again. I just think 1 liners like that are useless.</p>

Legacy, lol, I don't know what to tell you.</p>
 
It's true what Carter said, no one wanted him. If you really look at it, teams were much more interested in other players, such as Rashard Lewis, Billups, Wallace etc.</p>

I doubt VC signed with the Nets out of desperation, but he wasn't exactly pursued like Kobe would have been.</p>
 
I like how he says the Nets gave him a second life, which I believe is true. Also, I think any team other then the Raptors would have gave him new life. He just wanted a new environment to play in, and the Nets were a great situation for him. Kidd is probably, other then Nash, the best possible PG for him. Kidd knows how to deal with stars and gets the ball in to the right hands at the right time.</p>

</p>

Hite does have crazy athleticism, that's one of the things i like about him as a fan. He'd be extremely entertaining to any team he makes, even if it isn't the Nets. Of course, I hope he makes the Nets.</p>

I wonder if there'll be any other news on whether or not he'll make the team. Of the non-fully-guaranteeds, I believe it's him, DA, and Malik. Any news on this, anyone? NI?</p>

And MasterShake, you shouldn't worry about these "one-liners", he's simply giving a brief opinion of what he thought of the video. There's plenty of other Nets fans on here who have good things to say, and I've seen it plenty of times from Universe. He's a great writer, don't worry about him. You should probably worry more about the places that aren't getting much action, unlike the Nets forum.</p>
 
I hate to say these things, because one injury could mess the whole thing up (KNOCKING ON WOOD RIGHT NOW). But I really believe Carter is about to have the best year of his career in terms of overall basketball and being his best when his team needs him to be. Too many sources have now talked about how much he's been working on his jumper this off season, which is traditionally a time that he just relaxes to let his body recover from the grind of a long NBA season. The fact that he was in the gym only days after the Cleveland series working with Bob Thate and that he's regularly staying late after practice to shoot -- and also shooting BEFORE games with Thate on hand -- indicates he's putting in the kind of hours that great players put in to get to the proverbial "next level".</p>

While I've genrally loved his game in Jersey, save some short periods in 06-07 when he seemed to be struggling mentally both on and off the court, the one area that's most disappointed me is that he has yet to shoot the ball in the playoffs as well as he can shoot. He had a terrible drop off in that regard in 04-05, due, I'm sure, to both the tremendous defensive pressure Miami was able to apply without punishment from shooters like Scalibrine, Best, and Kidd, and due to fatigue from what he did to get the Nets into the playoffs in the first place. He shot better in 05-06 but was still relatively impotent from 3-point range, which is an important part of his arsenal as a scorer and even as a playmaker. He shot horribly from outisde throughout most of the 06-07 playoffs, and it clearly limited both his options and effectiveness as a driver as Cleveland was almost GIVING him open shots in order to wall off his lanes to the basket. So better shooting will not only increase his efficiency as an outside scorer but will create higher quality driving opportunities than those he's been presented with in the playoffs thus far as a Net.</p>

His on-court demeanor also seems a bit different this year. He seems a bit more sereious and appears to already have a bounce in his step, even though it's preseason. He was actually making some pretty brilliant individual defensive plays in both the Knicks and Celtic games. He twice thwarted Tony Allen drives at the rim and took the ball away from him, deflected numerous passes, took a charge to stop a fast break, made a clean strip of Rondo defending a 2-on-1 to get the turnover. He had two sensationally athletic blocks against the Knicks. Not bad for preseason intensity.</p>

The confidence in this interview just makes me think that, health permitting, he and the Nets are going to surprise a lot of people this year who think their ship has sailed.</p>
 
man its tough for me to hate vince at times because he is such a nice guy and a charismatic guy. i really hope he has no distractions and has more focus knowing that his career is coming to an end plus he really believes, as i do, that we really did upgrade our team all around. hopefully we do stay healthy and everyone plays up to their potential because if that happens then we really can do something special this year. with that said, we better come out smoking hot against chicago wed and win that game and get started on the right foot.</p>

... are you serious? One liners lead to dead forums? You are repeating non-sense that was told to you. Running forums like dictators lead to dead forums.

If you read carefully, what did Universe say after your comment? He won't take part. Running a forum close minded, wanting to stick to every letter of the law chases away members and kills a forum. We just witnesses that in play right?</p>

You knock on wood too?? crazy, haha.</p>

And a Vince Carter making more shots and playing more defense makes for an unstoppable player. If he tries harder in games where we need him, against a "superpower" such as the Spurs, Suns, Bulls, Mavs or even Celts, there's no saying how good we could do against these teams. I mean, really, can anyone stop Vince when he's on a tear? (Bowen, maybe, but that's only by playing unfairly, and getting him ejected)</p>

Let's just hope that while he's trying harder on the court to make even more of a difference on this team, Wright and Boki can spell him enough so that he won't be completely dead by the end of the game, or, in hindsight, the playoffs.</p>

"Well spoken."</p>

OK. I'll continue. I don't find anything whatsoever wrong with people saying briefly that they agree or disagree with something. After all you get a quick pulse reading. What's the sense of being long-winded? I'd be pretty turned off with the idea that this would somehow be objectionable too.</p>

Why think you kind sir. The feeling is mutual.</p>

Have you got your spreadsheets and databases ready for the season? I expect a report by halftime of the first game telling us which combinations are most effective for the Nets.</p>
