    Is he, and if he were what other team is even remotely as attractive as the Rockets would be for him? We have a great point and are solid at the 2 and 5 with multiple picks in a deep draft next year. I know that Vince probably is not a free agent and even if he were then he would probably stay in Toronto, but can y'all imagine a lineup of:
    Francis
    Anderson
    Vince
    lottery pick
    Cato
    Holy shnikes!!!! Watch out Blazers and Lakers.....

    Heck, why not just go all out (like Orlando tried) and get Vince,Rasheed, Kobe and Shaq.

    Lineup:
    Shaq
    Sheed
    Vince
    Kobe
    Francis

    Hey, I've got an idea: lets trade a half bottle of ketchup for:

    Grant Hill
    Tim Duncan
    S. O'Neal
    Vince Carter, and
    Allen Iverson

    Someone need a reality check. Lets get a decent player who goes with the team.

    The point is 1) He is not a free-agent next year and 2) He is not a free-agent next year.

    Ulysses..they would want a whole ketchup bottle. [​IMG]

    Anyways, even if Vince was a FA, he wouldn't be a rocket. Either he'd join his cousin tracy, go to Chi-town(and put up with all the jordan comparisons), or stay in Toronto.

    If we could pay him the max, I really dont see why Vince wouldnt want to come to Houston---A lot of people make a big deal about getting a bigger endorsement package but that didnt sway McGrady towards CHicago either. We have a young, up and coming, exciting team, a great city, top notch facilities (new arean hopefully), wonderful management and coaching, and good weather. Houston would be just as much of a draw as Chicago and Orlando.

    Bt, he is NOT a FA next year but the following year instead.

    Oh, good.....we'll just pick up Webber next year and Vince the year after that. Hell, with that lineup Rudy could suit up and we'd still kick em' by 20.

    Rudy's still got some mad game, I think.

    Vince Carter has an option after the next year......if he wants out he will.....the teams future looks quite bleak after the T-Mac(Tracy McGrady) ordeal. ... so if the Raps don't do something to impress this guy by the end of next season this guy is GONE...he is a exactly like T-MAc .......they both know that in the States they can get three times the exposure......MEANING $$$$$$$$$$$$$$......so this guy is looking for an excuse to leave and trust me he will leave the Raptors next year if the Raptors dont do some shopping!!!

    I would trade stevie franchise straight up for Carter.....or 3 first round draft picks......either one.
