Ed Stefanski in an interview with WFAN gave the clearest indication yet that talks between the Nets and Vince Carter are going well. "We feel comfortable", Stefanski said when asked if the team was going to extend Carter. "We don't expect Vince to opt out." Stefanski added, "Right now, we like our nucleas and were gonna to give it another shot". As for a Kevin Garnett trade, Stefanski was not optimistic: "I don't see what we could do" but said the team would "make the call"
