Vince Carter to Orlando?

[bigdog]

Chad Ford brought it up. He said there is serious discussions between Orlando and New Jersey.

Deal would be Vince Carter, for Rafer Alson, Courtney Lee, and Tony Battie.

Deal could be done before the draft.

[Indazone]

That would make Orlando very dangerous

[rayray2k8]

Was about to post this, but yeah, that would definitely give Orlando the shot in the arm they need..

[Ditty]

so turk aint coming back then

they'll losing shooting but get more athletic

[Muser]

Nelson
Carter
Hedo?/Pietrus
Lewis
Howard

[ginobili's bald spot]

Damn. Every contender is getting the benefit of a salary dump.

[rayray2k8]

They would add another jump shooter to a jump shooting team..

Magic lineup

Nelson
Carter
hedo
rashard
Howard

except turk wont be there. And they trade a valuable back-up PG and a player whose 11 years younger for a player whose about jacking up as many shots possible. Shots wont be able to go around.

Pietrus can fill in for Hedo. And the Magic where never going to hold onto Alston after this season.

[layupdrill]

Alston was rented for four months. He knew that.

Let's see if the Magic can actually swallow Carter's contract and make Hedo happy enough to re-sign with Orlando, first.

[JamStone]

Now the NBA can prepare for the Yi Jianlian era of domination.

[Thunder Dan]

panic move by the Magic. Why would they take on more salary AND move Lee. Less is a good player, and don't they want to resign Hedo?

[Thunder Dan]

If the Cavs were offered Courtney Lee or Vince Carter, I would consider taking Lee. Lee hits shots and he is a great defender. I wouldn't trade him, but what do I know

Lee is a good player but i think its an insurance policy unless they dont resign hedo.

If they do though, damn they will be a beast.

they were already the best team in the east, this would just strengthen that.

[Thunder Dan]

Well Hedo is not as good as VC in my opinion. I think they should keep Lee and trade Air France.

I guess I've just never been impressed with VC. He is too much like T-Mac where he is Mr. Regular Season. Could be wrong though

[IronMexican]

Hedo > VC

If they have both though, that's scary.

[lefty]

The panic move war between Cleveland and Orlando is getting interesting.

I'm getting some popcorn

[baseline bum]

Hedo ain't gonna find huge money out there; he'll probably be back in Orlando. This trade is a no-brainer for both sides, and will make the Magic completely incapable of being defended on the perimeter. I don't think I have ever seen a team of shooters like Nelson, Carter, Turkoglu, and Lewis around an all-star big like Howard before. This move would be really bad news for the EC.

[lefty]

Horrible move for Orlando

[JamStone]

Good move for Orlando.

[mardigan]

Horrible move for Orlando

What? How?

[naif]

this is a happy day 4 me .. finaly vc 2 contender team ..
just give vc & the magic the rings ..

[lefty]

What? How?

IDK

Alston was doing a great job

Lee is a heck of a young player

None of them is Vincecarteresque, butsee what Lee has done so far: young player who gives a and shows up every night.

Carter doesn't have that reputation
