Vince Carter on his upcoming free agency...

Don't you ever notice that that all professional athletes say things in order to be in the positive light. The nets are realistically a crap team right now anyways, and that Carter is holding up the excitement and wins for them at this time. I say Carter should just leave.

A crap team? The Nets have made it into the playoffs and are much better than the Kings and Raptors. Maybe even better than the Spurs.

Can you explain why "the nets are realistically a crap team right now"?

That's funny. They are a better team right now than last season. And last season they went to the 2nd round of the playoffs.

Where were the Raptors and Kings?

Okay, this is going really far. In what way are the Nets kinda, sorta better than the Spurs. You gotta be kidding me. In no way are the Nets remotely close to the Spurs. Maybe the Raptors not the Spurs. Have the Nets won 3 champions in the last 10 years? No. You Nets fans are delusional. Just stick with your Kidd is better than Carter mentality, ship him out, and let's see where your beloved Nets are next year. I can't wait when Carter packs up and goes and Nets belong where they're supposed to: Below the Bobcats.

 

[Shapecity]

Well both sides are wrong, the Nets aren't a crap team, and they also aren't better than the Spurs. The Nets have a chance to win their division and make the playoffs again, but they still don't have answer for stopping DWade.

The Nets need to make a move to acquire a defensive specialist capable of chasing Wade around and forcing Wade to work hard to get baskets. Jason Kidd used to be able to defend a player like Wade, but he's a step slower now and lost some athleticism.

</div> hahaha, no the nets are not better than the kings or the spurs. The only reason the kings didnt make it to the second round was because they had to play the spurs in the first. The spurs are probably the 2nd or 3rd best team in the NBA.

IMO, the nets should just not take the chance of carter leaving and make a trade for another player, or players, that might add up to his value. They could definately add some more tough post players, and better defenders. I also think that if carter was gone RJ could step up and become an all-star.

This is true Answer, I've heard Carter use that line time and time again when he was w/ the Raptors and in actuality, chances are he will leave because he will soon get tired of barely making the first round and losing in the second round of the playoffs. He did it in Toronto, so why should he have to do it in Jersey. His game is more suited for Dallas anyways, and I hope he leaves New Jersey for that team. Somewhere he can be more appreciated for the skills that he possesses and less for the question of whether or not Kidd makes him better. Carter, if you're listening, please go to a team that will appreciate you. You are a very rare talent, and don't waste your champion calibre skills on a team that won't get you into the the NBA Finals. Dallas is waiting.

What exactly is Dallas going to sign him with?

<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">chances are he will leave because he will soon get tired of barely making the first round and losing in the second round of the playoffs</div>

That says so much about his character if he does it.


<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">His game is more suited for Dallas anyways, and I hope he leaves New Jersey for that team</div>

How so? He isn't going to be the first option.

 

[hollagr8]

<font color=""Red"">What exactly is Dallas going to sign him with?</font>

Magic Beans, money of course.

<font color=""red"">That says so much about his character if he does it.</font>

You make it seem like Carter is loyal to New Jersey alone. Has his cool 'friend's with everbody' personality magnitized you in some way? This is a business man. Who cares what you or anybody else thinks. He doesn't have to stay because he might be jeopardizing his personality. He said the same thing in Toronto. How old are you anyways 8?


<font color=""red"">How so? He isn't going to be the first option.</font>

You really don't know Carter do you? He doesn't want to be the first option. He'd rather not be the target so he feels free to do what he wants. He was behind Antawn in North Carolina and when he went to the Raptors, he didn't like the pressure of being number 1 there, and now he likes working alongside Kidd, but not number 1 option. He'd rather be beside or behind Nowitzki. You should really get to know Carter better <font color=""red"">Kidd</font> because your points show that you don't know what you're talking about, and alot of people will agree with this.

They don't have money for him. End of story. He won't go to Dallas because they can't afford him.

That's pretty funny. Are you really 31 because you really need to jump sports. You really don't seem to know much about basketball. Yes it is a business but screwing over your team is awful and I'm sure he won't do it again.

<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">You should really get to know Carter </div>

I'll be sure to call him and have a whole convo about his basketball life.

 

[hustler]

I actually see VC staying on the Nets for some time. I just dont think he'll end his career as a Net, that's all.

 

[hollagr8]

You do that Kidd, all I'm saying is he's gone after this season is over. End of story.

 

[deception]

vince carter is the king of spin, fyi- he never publicly admitted to be wanting to be traded from t.o.

He's not leaving New Jersey. The team is too good for him to leave.

You're right. That goes to show how deceptive he can be. He'll do the same thing to New Jersey that he did to Toronto with all of you being pissed, and then back to your BORING Nets.

<div class="quote_poster">Carter Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">He's not leaving New Jersey. The team is too good for him to leave.</div>

He's also under contract, and due to his age, not many teams would be willing to trade for him.

Yah, okay

put him on the market and see who doesn't want him.. lol.. you'll say anything to keep him. This is hilarious.

Everybody wants him, smart guy. He's very marketable and he makes your BORING team exciting.

I do have to agree with this post, he's the only reason why people watch the Net's play.

Now that's baiting. You don't see me insulting your favorite teams, so keep your stupid comments to yourself.


<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Yah, okay put him on the market and see who doesn't want him.. lol.. you'll say anything to keep him.</div>

Well the only current teams that are interested in Carter are the Magic and the Nets. In fact Orlando is much more interested in Josh Howard.

This seems very true, well at least to my viewpoint. We all know the nets are decent with Carter, but when have the nets done anything spectacular without Kenyon or Carter?

 

[Answer_AI03]

IDK jefferson is pretty sweet too. Hes also making alot of highlight reels. But ya...carter is basically everything to New jersey. I think it would be better to trade carter now because they can get more back for him. Also, i think the nets could be a great defensive running team. If they kept kidd and jefferson and loaded up on defense and athletisizm (with a couple outside shooters) they could be a really good team. I just think that the post players that they have in jersey are jokes. oh ya....until kidd turns nenad into KG because kidd makes players careers.

 

[XSV]

^Hmm have you ever watched Krstic play? He is easily a top 10 center, maybe better, and it's only his third year.

You should stick to street ball. The NBA is not for you dude.

BTW, when i made the comment about being in highlight reels, i was refering to RJs athletic ability, and how he could easily be the first scoring option on this team. He's actually one of my favorite players, and probably the teams best rebounder as well. your posts mean absolutely nothing and most of them dont even have a point. The only thing you care about is making kidd look like god, which he is not, and bashing other posts that actually mean somthing. You should try using your brain before you type something, that is if your not too buisy beating off to a pic of jason kidd.

<font color=""Red"">Answer_A103, I agree sometimes AMS_ice praises Kidd too much, and hates on Carter too much, but there is no need to insult him. If all your gonna do here is make stupid posts which may offend other members, I suggest you change with your ways or else you'll be getting in trouble soon enough.</font>

Look who's talking! Points? Check your posts. Your idea of a great player is someone who scores a lot and highlight reels. What are you? 8? You don't have a clue of what the game is about. And as for stupid posts, don't worry your still no.1!

Beating off a Jason Kid pic? Take your hands off little ai before you say that.
