fuck carter. Get ridda him if anybody. been saying for years now, josh smith is a KMart clone. Nets would be smart to pick him up

I think this article is brilliant. With the Blazers getting Oden, this makes Zach Randolph more than available with Aldridge in the picture for Portland. Jefferson for Randolph looks like a sensible move to me given Richards obvious natural lack of talent. I would also explore trading Marcus Williams to get back an actual PG who can play something resembling defense.

The Nets should take a look at this kid Chris Richard from Florida Gators. He played Oden well in the NCAA Finals. He’s 6’9" 255, a strong power type, Not even listed in the 2nd Round Mock Draft. Probably won’t get drafted. worth an invite to rookie Camp.

Carter needs to get the damn boot – I just don’t understand why people are even mentioning the word “re-sign” with this guy. I’ve been watching every single Nets game for years, and Carter I have to say is very very over-rated. His lack of passion, drive, commitment, and aggressiveness just make him an unreliable player.

We keep hearing of Carter’s stats matching Paul Pierce’s, but let me assure you that with the game on the line I would go with Pierce in a heartbeat. Pierce plays all out, Carter is a damn whuss.

The one and ONLY reason the Nets should keep Carter is IF they can package RJ and Kristic in return for a KG. A line of Kidd, Carter, and KG would and should make this an elite team. RJ, although not as talented as Carter, has a fire in him – which is priceless.

Carter is a sad case – I can understand now why Toronto literally gave him away for free to the Nets. This guy f-ckin sucks. He’s heard everyone and their mother tell him to attack the basket, yet he still takes these dumb@ss circus flip shots and tough fadeaways. No wonder Jordan hates him too…just don’t know what the hell is going through Rod Thorn’s head.

Assuming they re-sign Carter, Jersey should do it – Matt Carroll, Matt Barnes, Flip Murray, Luke Walton, Devin Brown, Grant Hill, Jalen Rose, and Mo Pete are going to be free agents. Kidd, Carter, one of the above, Z-Bo and Krstic is good enough to compete with the Pistons or Cavs. I don’t see any other way not to waste the tail-end of Kidd’s incredible career. Having an inside presence would finally ease the pressure off of Kidd and Carter on the perimeter, and they could get out on the break more instead of doing the rebounding duties that the frontcourt should shoulder.

For Portalnd it’s a no-brainer – they’ve gotta get rid of Z-Bo to make space for LaMarcus Aldridge along side Oden, and they’ve got a gaping whole at small forward that RJ would fill nicely.

The Bulls would never trade Deng for RJ. Deng is all upside, while RJ has peaked and is to some extent damaged goods (injuries). The Nets need to dump VC and possibly Kidd and rebuild. These pieces are not going to get it done, and there is no quick solution. The real problem is that the Nets will never get equal value back from trading VC or Kidd. Maybe only RJ can bring back someone who can help right away. Good luck!

I don’t understand why anyone would want to trade RJ for Zack Randolph. It would be a different team, but a better one? Besides being a huge character risk, Randolph has no playoff experience – no winning experience even – and nothing in his career suggests he has any more fire in his belly than VC does. He’s just another Derrick Coleman. Anyway, the Wizards seem to be offering Antawn Jamison for him. Let them run in place, going nowhere.

Having watched the majority of Nets games over the last few years, Vince Carter has to go. What the Nets need to do is make a call to the Lakers and see what it takes to get Kobe. Everyone keeps talking about Kidd to the Lakers but why not reverse it. Send Carter and whatever else the Lakers want. Hopefully they would be able to keep Krystic but thats a long shot. Kidd, Kobe and Krystic could be what the Nets need to finally get Kidd a championship. I know its a huge longshot but why not, crazier things have happened.

The Nets should shop VC & RJ, not kidd. Kidd is the corner stone. if the memphis is willing to trade gasol the should try to get him. KG is not something they should look into but b/c the dont have wat t-wolves would want. Randolph is Kwamie Browns missing brother. one game he’ll give you 20pts and 10 rebs the next game 10pts n 4 rebs. They need GASOL. He can shot, rebound block everything.
   They should talk to Atlanta. Giving up Marcus Williams, the 17th pick and maybe someone else can work. Atlanta is projected to take Conley jr. He’s just like Marcus but marcus is better. In return i can see maybe marvin or josh smith and either their 11 pick or the 3 pick. I know its a reach but they should try.

they should keep kidd, carter, jefferson and get KG. THAT would be a Championship Team.
