D'Alessandro: Carter, Nets Closing in on Deal

He is the gym every day, working with shooting coach Bob Thate on his jumper, watching every college and international player work out. He has yet to go home to Orlando and his locker is still full and has his name on it. Bottom line, says Dave D'Alessandro: there is little chance Vince Carter is going anywhere, adding "all signs are that Carter will get everything he wants" and that could mean $60 to $65 million over four years. In addition to Carter, Hassan Adams and Marcus Williams have also been working out in East Rutherford.
