Carter:Another Spur missed trade opportunity

Guru, you one funny guy!!

Hey, Manumania- You tellin me that if IND offered J. O'neal for Manu (put aside the salary cap, this is just hypothetical/theoritical) straight up you wouldnt take it?

I know where you are coming from, and I understand that J. Oneal is simply a more proficient player in more ways than one. However, I would have to say not this season. I think we have a good team as it is. no emediate need to trade Manu for someone better, he's doing well as it is. I think Manu has done too much this season for us to just trade him like he was just another player. I know I'm exagerating a bit but consider this, would you trade Tim Duncan for someone better? (if that someone actually existed) even though Tim has given so much for this team. Wouldn't that taste a little like betrayal?

PS. The exageration was just to make a point, not saying that Manu is better than Tim, not by a very long shot.

Ok, I understand your post.
Having said all that I have said, I like our team, and I dont think anyone of our key guys are going anywhere soon.

Yup, feel the same way

Carter was a steal of a trade for them. He has been playing great for them.

when he is not taking plays off.

I was wondering where your negative ass was, rasscal. If this is all you have to about, your season must be miserable to this point, and that makes me smile. Yes, Toronto gave him away. They would know his personality and work ethic better than ANYONE, so it begs the question...why did they give him away? If you answer that, you'll know why no team would give them more than a bucket of warm spit for him.

The most telling number since the trade: NJ is 6-10. Kidd is pretty much entrenched as first or second team All NBA. If Carter is all that, why are they still LOSING? My guess is because Carter is like you, rasscal: a loser.

Aw shucks.

I owe it all to the little people.

Vince Carter: Half Man, Half a Season.

Hmm, keep Manu and have a guy who showed up in the post-season, or trade him for Vince and get a guy who can't be bothered to show up in the last half the season, let alone the post-season.

[Sense]

Carter<Manu.

Heh.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Just to expound...

In Manu you have a guy who his teammates know will be there in money time.

In Carter, you had a guy who was openly called out by his own teammates in the playoffs for not showing up.

Why the would you ever want a loser like that on this squad?

Vince Carter: Half Man, Half a Season.

sums it up right there.

[Dre_7]

I member the first time I heard Barkley call VC Half man half a season I laughed so hard.

Carter may be a better athlete and/or player then Manu, but Manu is better for a team like SA then Carter.

I love how we play as a team (for the most part) on both ends of the floor. Its how Basketball should be.

The Nets got Vince for almost nothing. The only guy I would like on the Spurs is the only player that's not playing right now, Mourning. If you look at Carter and how he plays, you'll see that he's not even close to Manu's compe iveness and hustle. Carter needs to have the ball in his hands most of the time to be effective, unlike Manu. He's lazy on defense and sometimes argues with officials instead of running back on D.

I wouldn't even trade Manu straight up for Carter and I'm not a homer. I would guess that GM's around the league would rather have Manu then Vince Carter on their roster.

The Spurs organization doesn't do business the same way the rest of the league does. They want certain players and if they're not available they don't just settle for anything. And that's a good thing.

[Brodels]

You're right, I did think he was serious. If he wasn't then I apologyse. However, I don't appreciate you making remarks about how bright you might think I am. Keep those stupid comments to yourself next time, and we'll get along just fine. PS. believe it or not, I've been on other forums, and seen quite a few stupid questions and posts that have no indication of being humor, sarcasm or the like. Either way I would think a small mistake about confusing sarcasm or joke with a serious statement inside a forum where everything is written isn't that drastic.

Hey, I'm standing up for a veteran, respected poster. You started it by questioning his basketball knowledge. GON has been here from the beginning and he brings it.

I'm not really all that concerned about us getting along fine, but thanks for the offer.

[ZStomp]

Carter.

He's weak and a loser.

No thanks.

Once upon a time there was a poll about FSP's most clueless poster . . .

People were voting for GW, whottt (?), Sequ and I was campaiging for rascal. He is not only the most clueles poster, he is also the most annoying, negative mother kucker around.

He hasn't showed his ugly mug in over six months and his first post, at a moment when the Spurs

(i) are 34-10 (best start ever),

(ii) have slapped the other contenders (Suns, Kings, Mavs, Heat), and

(iii) two of its most inconsistent players, Parker and Manu, are playing better than ever

is "we should have gotten VC for a combo including Manu".

rascal: you are a waste of bandwith. These last six months have been fine without you.

Please get the fvck out of here, !

[Jimcs50]

Manu is not tradable.

He is probably the favorite Spur of 50% of the fans world wide...there is no way in that they would trade him.

[ALVAREZ6]

Carter isn't worth it, he wouldn't fit into this team like Manu does.

If Manu took as many shots as Carter, his numbers would be better.

Who's rascal?

To me, violent pussy is still the most annoying poster.

[violentkitten]

good

Carter is another marbury, everyone was saying the knicks stole him and it was a horrible trade for PHX (except this fan with a first hand view of Marbury's act). Now look at that? Secondly, why the would Toronto want Rose? To back up Bosh at the 4? He has a bloated contract. Spurs fans tend to overate Rose's trade value. SA is a small market team, to market them they have to use the global aspect (china is a big Houston Rocket fans). Trading manu would be dumb.

[GhostofAlfrederickHughes]

Yeah, always makes sense to disrupt the heart of your team for a pouting prima donna who's never won an NBA championship.

You haven't been in the board long enough to get to know mother ing negative rascal.

VK is plain stupid.

IMO, he is just some other poster hidding under a different nick trying to stirr things up.

V Carter is overrated
