Vince Carter tells Al Iannazzone that he's not going to jump a ship that's being refitted. While he would like to win a championship, he says taking "a team that is considered rebuilding and become a playoff team, there's a lot of satisfaction in that for me." Carter has been the team leader throughout training camp, and well before, and Lawrence Frank says, "I trust his character".
