    Have you seen this guy in any of his games this season?

    Dropping 30+ a night every game. Scored 38 tonight. I'm glad I picked him up for Salary Cap fantasy on NBA.com, he's bringing in big points and his value has soared.

    He's really playing like its a contract year, and he's almost 30.

    Reminds me of when people used to compare McGrady and Carter a few years ago and I would laugh it off, saying Carter is nowhere close to McGrady's level.

    Maybe there is still hope for T-Mac if Vince can perform like this at 30.

    Or even better, maybe T-Mac gets motivated by his second cousin's success and decides to do some damage of his own.

    It is a contract year. He's got a player option for next year, but word is that he's going to test the market this summer. Maybe go down to Orlando as a free agent.

    Yeah I understand it is one, but he is REALLY playing like it.

    From what I've seen so far, he wasn't this good last year. He's almost 30 and he's playing like a 25 year old.

    Maybe through some stretch of the imagination he wants to come back and play with his boy T-Mac, make a legendary team, and bring home a few championships.

    he might go to the bobcats since thats his hometown. i would go to the place wiht most money if i was him. there is few chances for him to win a title with the nets. what more can vince ask for? he played with his cousin, he won the dunk contest, hes been in the all star game several times, he played with one of the best pg in the league. theres two thing that would come to my mind; more money or title or both. You could be right though, orlando can be contender with vince and howard. thats going to be sick, both of them are going to be in sports center in every game.

    Well, Carter is always great but he's made from glass. He will hurt your fantasy team soon enough.

    true, but he's always around at the end of the season, when it counts the most.

    Is he going to be okay?

    I hate it when star players get sick. Steve Smith was throwing up in the Panthers/Buccaneers game tonight.

    lol to the above post...man i wanted to trade carter for tmac >.> o well i guess thats out of the question now...but then again i think the reason why hes doing so well is because richardson is injured and is not playing as well as he normally is..id rather them balance the scoring load between the two..

    You mean Richard Jefferson? Yeah, don't trade Carter until T-Mac starts coming back to normal.

    Naaa. . .don't trade Mac
    just let him sit on New Jersey's bench for like 5 games
    so he can remember why he wanted to get the h*ll out of Toronto
