It's 3 o'clock. Do you know where your shooting guard is? In New Jersey. After a day filled with rumors of a salary dump (Vince Carter and Mo Ager for the Blazers' Raef LaFrentz and Channing Frye) and even word that Portland wouldn't do the deal without the Nets giving them the Warriors' 2011 first-round pick, the day ended quietly with no deals for VC or anyone else.
