P.S.

From what I am reading here, I don't think many Spurs fans realzie how Carter's game has evolved in recent years.

Carter is mostly a jumpshooter these days, can hit the 3 and drive when he need to and has actually become a very clutch shooter for the Nets as of late.

The injury tag is not a major concern anymore.

I actually think he'd be perfect for the Spurs and if they could sneak S. Williams in the deal, that would solve two needs. He's a young PF/C who blocks shots and is athletic but very raw. I mentioned his name in this very Forum last year and was laughed at.

He's also a fucking psycho. Chicago actually nixed a trade with NJ earlier this season because NJ insisted on including him, and CHI wanted no part of that shit. If he's so fucking good, why has he only played 19 games at 10 minutes per for a bad team?

The lastest from McDonald, this is in the monster Carter thread too.

Carter buzz heating up (http://blogs.mysanantonio.com/weblogs/courtside/)
By Jeff McDonald

That Vince-Carter-to-Spurs rumor seems to have heated up overnight, with some sources indicating San Antonio to be the most likely destination for the mercurial New Jersey shooting guard.

The latest scenario would have the Spurs sending Roger Mason, George Hill, Fabricio Oberto and Bruce Bowen to New Jersey for Carter. New Jersey would then immediately waive Oberto and Bowen, to get themselves under the 15-man roster limit.

The benefit for the Spurs would be obvious: They would acquire an elite, All-Star caliber scorer on the wing. The deal, however, would not be painless: They would have to part with Mason, a top-notch 3-point shooter, and Hill, a rookie point guard who had figured prominently into the team's long range plans.

The benefit for the Nets would be mostly financial. They would clear Carter's $16.1 million salary from the books.

No deal was imminent as of this morning, but this development will be something worth monitoring throughout All-Star Weekend.

UPDATE: One problem with the deal proposed here. Under NBA rules, it would be illegal. In order for a team to take four players for one, it must make room on the 15-man roster BEFORE the deal is consummated. It doesn't matter if the plan is to waive a couple of the incoming players after the deal is done.

In order for the Spurs and Nets to make this deal, the Nets -- who are already at the 15-man limit -- would have to waive three of their own players first. Obviously, that's not going to happen. Doesn't neccesarily mean there is no deal for Carter in the works, but it isn't this deal.

I say DO IT!!!...at least, if carter seems willing to work within the system (but I think he will..as much as a lot of people hate him...I think its unfair to him)

I think right now carter is an upgrade over mason (as much as I like him)...similar clutch (yeah, I have the nerv to say that after mason won 3 or 4 games for us with his clutchness) and just a player which will force opposing teams to change their gameplan (which is tough if you also have to do it with tony, manu and timmy)

to include hill is tough, but take a look what pop does to him lately...its not like he is the guy who will win games for us this year...and I could care less about our youth...when timmy goes we need to do a fill rebuilding anyway and I'd rather trade hill now then later (when we are not competing)

additionally: carters defense is underated...I wont say, he is great, but at least as good as mason is.

only problem is, that it would still leave us very thin up front (I'm not high on the williams-idea)...but with one more rosterspot, we may just pick up another guy to at least have quantity

The big men playing ahead of Sean Williams are all better than he is.
Last year, Sean Williams averaged 5.6p/4.4r/1.5blk in 17 minutes. Why is he now playing behind the inferior Josh Boone?

That said, I think Williams could help the Spurs. He needs the Pop boot camp and a change of scenery.
He's a corrosive locker room presence who's antics have apparently filtered out to everyone but you. We're not talking immaturity here, he's just a flat out bad guy. As I said, Chicago refused him as a throw-in for a trade earlier this year. Because they refused to take him, the trade collapsed. Let me repeat that: they refused him as a throw in.


You listed Brook Williams and Josh Boone as journeymen.
You think of journeyman as a derisive swipe. It isn't. Most players in the NBA are journeyman. Lopez has a chance to be more at 12p/8r, but then again, others have put up numbers early and fallen off the face of the Earth. See: Kristic, Nenad.

Boone will probably always be a fringe player, and Jianlian and Anderson are primarily perimeter players/shooters and shouldn't be keeping a talented big out of the lineup.

How do I argue with you if you're that off base?

You can recognize that Sean Williams would never fit in SA. He is a bad guy who most of the league won't touch with a ten foot pole. That's why he's not playing ahead of inferior players.

Brook Lopez is being lauded as a young Brad Miller.

Josh Boone was the Nets incumbant starter at center before gtting hurt.

Anderson is young and has been showing flashes of brilliance.

And the Nets traded for Yi to appeal to the foreign market and because they view him as a cornerstone of the front court.


Where exactly do you expect the admittedly raw S. Williams to get his minutes on the Nets?

Don't bother answering. The last time I mentioned a Nets player with a questionable attitude, you scoffed when the Spurs eventually took a chance on him.


He turned out to be Stephen Jackson, the Spurs best swingman in a decade.

Sean Williams is buried behine Boone and Lopez.

Experts project Lopez to be a stud in this league and Boone was putting up good numbers for a starter last season and this season before getting hurt.

No one is suggesting that Sean Williams is the next Ralph Sampson. We're saying he could be a decent gamble and a low-risk one at that.

I heard this same sh1t last year and was sold that Kurt Thomas was the big man who would be the equalizer against the Lakers.

I know learning the system takes time, but we'd also have a quality ball-handler in Vince. ...? (ya know, while MANU takes the breather :D )

Vince Carter is NOT a point guard....

Hell, why not have Duncan play backup PG. He knows the system for sure.

I heard this same sh1t last year and was sold that Kurt Thomas was the big man who would be the equalizer against the Lakers.

yah, but he's older and only 6'9". they need a big, roughly 6'10-11", 250 lbs, and big wing span. i'm not against vinsanity either, he might be just what they need (???), but if this is true, then hopefully they get a big guy along with this deal. cross your fingers

Since Tony has been in the league, it's been a struggle for the Spurs to find a decent backup PG. They finally have that in GHill and I don't think the Spurs throw that away.

I am not saying that I'm for or against VC. I'm just saying it makes no sense to lose their depth at the point guard in the process. And I truly gotta believe that the Spurs are looking for a big more than Vince.

I'm aware, but for stretches, either he or Manu could handle the rock if need be. And you can't seriously allude to Manu's performance last year in the POs as "typical".

"For stretches" would be okay - two to three minutes in a crunch. But neither Manu or Vince can be the regular back up point guard, getting 16 mpg at the point while Tony rests.

If George Hill is gone in a trade, Jacque Vaughn better be super fresh and ready to go, or the Spurs must be getting a point back in the deal.

Problem is every team in the league needs that 6'10 250lbs player with big wing span and those that have a player like it don't want to trade them for Oberto and Vaughn.

hahahaha! i've actually seen him handle the ball a couple of possessions in an all-star game about 4 or 5 years ago so we know he could do it :lol:lol:lol:lol
nah, no he couldn't lol

Wow....

im just having fun and seeing what trades would be allowed.

Honestly, I was trying to give Udoka and Vaughn to NJ, cause of their expiring contracts....but they have 15 players already, so they can only receive the same number of players they give away.

This drives Pop insane and he shouts, Fuck yes and starts drowning himself in wine!!!!!

Rod Thorn makes another awesome trade this year and says, league did not veto my trade. No need to wait for 2 years. Lets sign an extension right now!!!

Sarver complains: Vince Carter? Get out!!! We want expirings and young talent. This ain't solve no shit.

Doesn't work. Suns get royally screwed, at least they deserve a 1st round pick from Nets/ 2nd round pick from Spurs.

Well this is just what I could do on the trade machine.....i cant add draft picks, the rights to players drafted, or cash considerations to the thing.....or if I can, I dont know how.

I have no problem with the Suns getting a 1st or 2nd from us and/or a 1st or 2nd from the Nets.
