Summer Vacations? Hardly

They all expect to be back in New Jersey for informal workouts in August. Some will, some won't. But the Nets right now are scattered in gyms around the country...and beyond.

Here's an incomplete summary of who's doing what, drawn from multiple sources, but mostly Ben Couch's end-of-season profiles.

Vince Carter - working out at his private gym near Orlando, raising money for his charities--including the Vince Carter Sanctuary, attending playoff games, getting reacquainted with his daughter. "We play with our two dogs, spend time at the parks, go bowling, read books, color, and just about anything else that makes us smile." Will serve as honorary pace car driver at Coke Zero 400 in Daytona Beach July 4.

Devin Harris - On European vacation, after serving as an instructor at the Adidas Nations Camp in Beijing, working out with Tim Grover at ATTACK Athletics in Chicago, has accepted an invite to Team USA summer camp in Las Vegas July 22-24.

Josh Boone - working out with personal trainer in New York on "offensive stuff"..."there really isn’t anybody else around here. I live in Jersey now and I kind of stay here and everybody else goes home."
