Vince Carter turned 30 Friday, a signal age for basketball players. It couldn't have been a happy birthday, what with the Nets' nightmarish string of one-point losses, the team's overall disappointment, his impending divorce and now trade rumors sending him everywhere from Memphis to Los Angeles to Utah. He says he doesn't care, adding, "I'm going to be who I am for [whomever] I'm playing for".
