HOLY CRAP...THE NETS TRADED FOR VINCE CARTER!!!!!

[THUNDER HANDS]

Alonzo Mourning, Aaron Williams, Eric Williams and 2 first round draft picks.

WOW

Holy crap!

If this trade gets approved, the Nets pretty much automatically jump to the favorites in the East I think.

[Champ]

1. Got to it before I did

I like Vince Carter so much it kills me to see he is a Net.

[Jack_Dawson]

2. VC is Past his Prime

but a talent, nonetheless.

[Champ]

3. He is only 27

Has quite a few good years left in him.

[Jack_Dawson]

5. Yeah, but he's battleworn

Grant Hill anyone?

[Champ]

7. Hill hasn't been doing bad

19.9 ppg this season, Vince Carter has a lower then usual ppg average because he has been played for less minutes. Air Canada just took off from a new destination.

[THUNDER HANDS]

6. i don't think so

I think he just hated playing in Toronto.

Remember, this guy averaged 25 points a game, just about, only a few years ago.

Wow, now the Nets starting lineup is...

PG: Jason Kidd
SG: Vince Carter
SF: Richard Jefferson
PF: Brian Scalabrine
C: Jason Collins

The Nets are weak up front, but in the backcourt they are fierce.

[Champ]

8. Kidd is gonna have fun throwing oops to VC and Jefferson

[against all enemies]

4. Favorites in the East? Over the league leading .500 Knicks? Sorry the

NBA stinks, wouldn't walk across the street to see a game.

[Champ]

9. No

The leaders in the east are Miami with a 17-7 record, the leaders in the league is the Suns with a 19-3 record.

[THUNDER HANDS]

10. the Suns, really?

wow, I knew they were having a good year, but I didn't think it was that good.

The Nets have to be favorites now. They have the best backcourt in the league. They have NO depth at all up front, and in the playoffs this will hurt them against a Detroit or Miami, but their 1, 2, 3 punch of Kidd, Carter and RJ should be enough to carry them.

Wow. I'm still shaking I'm so excited about this.

[northzax]

11. eh, the Wizards will take them

the backcourt is almost as good, and the front line is better. I'll take Jamison over Carter anyday.

[Willy Wonka]

12. Yet... Kidd still wants to be traded.

Will he?

[THUNDER HANDS]

16. no, but expect the Nets next move to be to bring in

Karl Malone from the Lakers, probably for Travis Best and maybe a draft pick.

I think it would be cool to see Malone on the Nets.

[GOPisEvil]

13. So you're getting a guy who sulked his way out of Toronto?

I hope things don't get bad in Jersey/Brooklyn or he'll start sulking again.

Good luck - no matter, you'll lose to a West team anyway. :P

[THUNDER HANDS]

14. well, i look at it like this

the road to the NBA Finals runs through New Jersey. The last three title winnners have all beaten the Nets on their way to the title.

The Lakers, Spurs and Pistons all had to defeat NJ to get the title.

You know what they say, fourth time's the charm. :D

[GOPisEvil]

15. Maybe you can be the second former ABA team to win an NBA title.

:D

[StopTheMorans]

17. in response to your last line: did you watch the Buffalo Bills in the 90s

? :evilgrin:

[warrens]

18. Big deal. The Braves got Tim Hudson

Who are these nets you speak of?
