The draft, free agency, long term planning...they're all dependent on decisions Vince Carter has to make in the next month and a half. With the season over, the Nets are making plans, but almost everything they do must wait for their top scorer and biggest draw to make up his mind where he wants to play next year. And while everyone says the right thing, everyone also knows money talks. One thing not dependent on Carter: Lawrence Frank will be offered a contract extension.
