They are just trying to build up his trade value. As they've said, the tough economic conditions are forcing teams to make business decisions, not basketball decisions. And the North East sure as heck does not want to lose another basketball star, even if he really isn't helping his team win. Boy what happened to Vince Carter? He at one time was the most heralded Jordan heir apparent.
The New Jersey Nets want their cake and eat it too. They want to get rid of Vince Carter and save $33M, but they want a player in return that averages 20 points, 5 assists, and 5 rebounds. There's no way you are getting those kind of numbers for cheap.
BS. This is just a ploy to make you think NJ still values Carter highly enough to not just give him away. He'll be gone soon.
Probably but they're two entirely different situations. I'm sure you understand that and you're just rolling your eyes at how T-Mac's days as a Rocket are going to end, though. I feel ya on that.
