Vince Carter

[diego]

yes, they are actually..another misconception about Vince Carter..

Vince shoots less jumpers than Ray Allen, Rashard Lewis, Kobe Bryant, Danny Granger, Tracy McGrady, Richard Hamilton, Josh Howard, Jason Terry, Ben Gordon, Kevin Martin, and Joe Johnson on the notable SG/SF list..

he shoots around the same % of jumper attempts as Paul Pierce, John Salmons, Stephen Jackson, Ron Artest, Richard Jefferson, Michael Redd, Kevin Durant, and Hedo Turkoglu..

he would really be a great fit, but like Mel explained, it won't happen for us..

since when are any of those guys slashers? the only ones who could be called slashers no longer slash (tmac, kobe). Carter falls in the same category, he no longer takes it to the hole like he used to (and Im afraid manu is also falling into this category). He takes 25% of his shots inside, 29% from 3. I didnt say he doesnt drive or make layups or dunks anymore. I said its not a big part of his game, and I dont see how the players you listed makes my statement false.

Re: the tax and minimum players . . . I want the Spurs to have rookies and low cost players next year. I don't want anything to do with the cast of roleplayers they have now who have proven the Spurs can't win with them. Give me Gist and Sanikidze and Hairston and 3 second rounders this year like De Colo or Casspi through a trade. Even without Vince Carter. Give me youth and hunger over tired over the hill plodders any day. Plus second rounders on minimum deals are discounted towards the luxury tax, even better to sign them.

THIS x10000000.

this is what ive been saying for over a year now..

yet we all know, unfortunately that next year will start with the usual cast of dinosaurs whilst all the young guys we are talking about are either in austin, overseas or doing well with another team.
