Shaq wants Vinsanity... could it happen?

i know this is an old clip. but it got me thinking about how the SUNS would look with vince carter. he has the perimiter shot that they miss without Marion being there... and it would essentially be the same situation as new jersey... except he wouldnt be the first option, Nash is peaking (not fading like Kidd) and he would have two dominant big men to play with (even if one of them is fading).

so, what are the chances?

Stop making these dumb threads plz.

Wed Jul 02, 2008 1:14 pm

I'd say the chances are slim to none. Who would they be giving up to get him?

There can be a package of Diaw, Barbosa + picks...

But it would be an ugly trade :)

Wed Jul 02, 2008 2:01 pm

I don't see the Nets going for that though.

Wed Jul 02, 2008 2:17 pm

lol the nets are in full rebuilding mode for lebron. getting diaw and barbosa would ruin cap room for their future. also if the suns acquired vc, they would be pretty damn old and have no bench left.

Wed Jul 02, 2008 4:35 pm

And who is Shaq to demand?

Wed Jul 02, 2008 5:33 pm

He hasn't made any demands though.

:lol: mamanip just got pawned..

yes, an ugly trade indeed..

i don't see carter being traded to the suns.. though i might be wrong..

This is a dumb thread..it's alright..

jenzstyle..you should stop picking too much on me..you have a very bad signature.. :roll:

Wed Jul 02, 2008 6:46 pm

mamanip, you might want to read/watch before posting to avoid being picked by your own idiocy.. posting in a "dumb thread" (as you've said) isn't an excuse to become dumb too..

this would be my last response concerning you getting pawned for this isn't the right thread for that..

Wed Jul 02, 2008 6:53 pm

JENZ's sig > mananip's sig

I will answer this thread's question: No. Even Steve Kerr wouldn't trade for Carter.

Wed Jul 02, 2008 11:21 pm

It's unlikely he could, even if he wanted to. Unless Vince Carter pulls...well, another Vince Carter, the asking price is probably going to be higher than the Suns can afford given the players they'd be willing to give up.

nets wouldnt trade their only remaining scorer

Thu Jul 03, 2008 9:55 am

This is like a year old....

at this point if the nets were smart they would trade him, trade him for future assests, be it draft picks or young players. its obvious they are gearing up for free agency so why not go the entire way. a top 3 pick in next years draft is just what they need to help lure the big free agents

Thu Jul 03, 2008 12:18 pm

That rules out the Suns, barring a complete collapse they're not going to have any lottery picks anytime soon.

Thu Jul 03, 2008 3:41 pm

i dont see how this is a "dumb" thread. i was simply stating that shaq still wants to play with carter, and i was curious about how that could happen still. apparently i am dumb for thinking it could happen. just as dumb as someone thinking Pau Gasol could be traded for Kwame Brown.... weirder things have happened you know.

Thu Jul 03, 2008 4:18 pm

It's not a "dumb" thread.
Personally, I wouldn't want them together. Vince Carter is one of my favorite players, however... Shaq is not.

Thu Jul 03, 2008 11:04 pm

It's certainly not a "dumb" thread but given the age of the video it's just speculation. An interesting thought but an unlikely scenario in my opinion.

Thu Jul 03, 2008 11:24 pm

you gotta get math right VC 60 million = 3-4 suns players... not going to happen Nets meesed up and sign VC for so much.
