[**ORANGEBLOOD**]

New Jersey Nets ship Vince Carter to Orlando Magic for Rafer Alston, rookie Courtney Lee - ESPN

just saw this. I am by no means an NBA expert but this seems like a good trade for the Magic.

 

[**ORANGEBLOOD**]

Sounds good for the Nets to me.

"only $4 million of his $18.3 million salary in 2011-12 is guaranteed"

hmm i wonder when he will be cut..

they gave up nothing for Alston and got a lot in return.

This makes the Magic best in the East again imo. That is, if Vinsanity isn't a total ball hog.

People's delusional belief that Vince Carter is an elite player never ceases to amaze me.

You have to admit he's one of the greatest leapers/athletes of all time though. In his prime, dude was unreal.

So was Harold Miner.

Does Jay-Z still plan to move the Nets to Brooklyn? I would rather have Courtney Lee and Skip to My Lou than Vince Carter.

I don't I just think he is an upgrade for them. He's a very good player. Can't approach elite. As I said, as long as he's not a ball hog they will do fine.

He is still 3rd at best on the team, behind Rashard Lewis an Dwight Howard

Assuming Turkolglu signs elsewhere, which seems very likely, I believe the Magic will have got worse this offseason.
