I think about that too but we have to leave that behind and focus on what is in front of us right now.
First off, before I start, I'm more than thrilled with the Jefferson trade. I think it makes the Spurs one of the top 3 teams in the NBA when all are healthy.
Now, I'm watching the Orlando-Atlanta game, and am just amazed with how Vince has fit in with the Magic so far. The guy can do anything offensively and shoot from anywhere on the court.
Having a guy like that next to Parker, Duncan and Gino would have been amazing. The guy may not have the defensive ability to adapt to the Spurs, and who knows how the chemistry would work, but if this were a video game, Vince would definitely make the Spurs the team to beat.
Just killing time by wondering what could have been. Can't wait for next Wednesday so I can see what will be for the next 7 and hopefully 8 months (think June).

Like I said, I've moved on. I'm more than happy with Jefferson. It's more of just imagining what Carter would do to this team offensively. They'd be almost unstoppable.
New Jersey wasn't buying what we were selling. Orlando offered a much better package than we were capable of putting together.First off, before I start, I'm more than thrilled with the Jefferson trade. I think it makes the Spurs one of the top 3 teams in the NBA when all are healthy.

Carter also has a knack for getting lazy and chucking shots. But I think that was a product of being on ty teams. Orlando is so stacked right now they could coast to 50 wins without a sweat.
At the end of the day its about the right player not the best player and rj is by a country mile the right player. From at ude to game approach. There's only one ball. Rj still plays efficient with less touches or more touches. I'm happy with the fo
It still amazes me how some Spurs fans did not want this guy
I think the Nets wanted both Hill and Mason, Id rather have RJ and Hill.
I would have done the Hill+Mason for VC...he's looking like a star on the Magic. I think Tim could have brought the best out of VC.
Yeah, NJ wasn't taking out our trash like Milwaukee did. We would have been a lot thinner at the guard and wing spots, and frankly with VC's injury history, that's a thin roster we couldn't afford.
If only Vince were in Memphis, then we could have made a straight up deal Bonner for Vince, maybe throw Udoka in and we'd have Vince, Jefferson, Manu, Dyess, Duncan, Blair and Parker.
I was just wary about giving up Hill. Carter is a better player than Hill, but Carter also turns 33 (I believe) during the season. The Spurs needed youth as well.
If I was GM of the Spurs and there was only 1 season to play and I had to give up Hill and Mason for Carter, I'd do it in a heartbeat. But there are many seasons and the Spurs needed some youth along with some veteran help. RJ gives them a good blend of both.
I wouldve been willing to give up Mason, but yeah.. I couldn't give up Hill, specially with how he's be playing this early on. He's really turning into something. Carter would be able to run the ball better himself than Mason as well as creating his own shots. I still like mason though<3
Scenario 1
Manu
RJ
Mason
Hill
Scenario 2
Manu
VC
Curtis Jerrels
Bowen on a buyout?
Any questions?
I would sent RMJ, but no Hill. Will they consider 2 future first rounds?
Hill is going to be good, we couldn't have sent him especially since pop is so high on him.
I'll still take keeping Mason and Hill AND bringing in Jefferson > losing perhaps both Mason and Hill and bringin' in VC.
Dude, the deal was dead 4 months ago. They sent Carter to Orlando. This is just a dissection.
His defense is very underrated.
Like I don't know that......
Giving up Hill would have been a big mistake.
You mention a current player, RMJ, and ask in the present tense "will they consider...". Doesn't look like you knew, to me.
vince carter is fkn good and a bonafide 20pt player...
what he lacks is motivation....maybe because his never been on a winning team or playin with
It's looking like Manu's best days are far behind him so having an explosive player like Carter would have helped us more than a passive player like Jefferson.
Uh, Carter's best days aren't exactly in front of him, either. I'm not sure that pinning 90% of your guard/wing production on two guys as injured as Manu and VC would be a good idea.
I'll take Richard 82games Jefferson for 500, Alex.
