Chris Broussard (insider):
If I'm Ferry, I'd put a call in about Carter. The Nets aren't thrilled with the 4 year deal they just signed him to, so they might want to dump him for deals that end sooner (O'Neal is signed through 09/10 and makes $40+ million over the next two years).
Carter's not the best player and sometimes he takes nights off/is hurt often, but even in Jersey, he was the first option. Sure, Kidd was the better player/bigger name, but Carter was the guy expected to get points and get to the line. In Cleveland, he'd be the second option. He wouldn't have to take all the hits inside, wouldn't have the pressure to score every night (as that'd be all on LeBron)...
The rumors are that the Nets will be trading him to Indiana, so they'd be willing to trade him in-conference... Carter is 31 and won't be involved with New Jersey's rebuilding...
Just a thought.
I also like Vince Carter, but with J-Kidd gone, his days with the Nets are probably numbered, too. I've been told by league sources that the Nets are willing to send Carter to Indiana for Jermaine O'Neal. If O'Neal receives a clean bill of health within the next week, a person with knowledge of the situation says that there's a 70 percent chance of this trade going down.
