ESPN: Suns to waive Vince Carter
[url]http://espn.go.com/nba/story/_/id/7316232/phoenix-suns-cut-vince-carter-lockout-ends[/url]
[QUOTE]
[B]Vince Carter isn't a free agent yet, but sources close to the situation say the eight-time All-Star will be thrust onto the open market shortly after the end of the lockout.
Based on an amendment in his contract obtained by ESPN.com, Carter must be waived by the Phoenix Suns within 72 hours of the official start of free agency or his $18 million salary for the 2011-12 season becomes fully guaranteed.
The Suns, sources said, have already decided to waive Carter within that window.[/B]
...
[B]Chicago, Miami and San Antonio are expected to be among the teams interested in signing Carter, 34, once he clears waivers and becomes an unrestricted free agent[/B].

Re: ESPN: Suns to waive Vince Carter
He'd be a great addition to the Bulls.
-
Re: ESPN: Suns to waive Vince Carter
He's slower now but can still shoot and is athletic enough in spurts to make big plays or play some defense.
Still he carry's some "loser" voodoo with him so I wouldn't sign him.

Re: ESPN: Suns to waive Vince Carter
Bring him to San Antonio.. he'd thrive under our system of drive in/kickouts... and Timmy would be finding him all day.

Theres no way he takes a few mil a year from Miami when he can get full MLE from contenders.

Yep. Did any of the other posters see him play last year?
Done. Nothing but a role player who won't accept that role.
Interesting that most ISH posters have a hardon against players from an older era, but seem to think old guys from the recent era can play forever.

Re: ESPN: Suns to waive Vince Carter
I'd welcome him in Chicago, although he wouldn't be my first choice. Probably not second or third either, but he would help if he meshed well with everyone.

He needs to come on down to LAL and play with Kobe. That shit would be epic.

Re: ESPN: Suns to waive Vince Carter
Why would the Spurs want Carter? That makes no sense. He's a very me-first type of guy, and all their other players are team first guys.

Anyone watch Vince last season? He is no good.

they havent moved parker, so it looks like they still think they can contend, and they probably need to mix it up a bit, get something to get them over the top.
sort of like the billups-iverson deal from detroit's perspective.
-
Re: ESPN: Suns to waive Vince Carter
He'll probably want full MLE over a long contract.
Would San Antonio or Miami want to give him that? Debateable.
Would Chicago do it? More likely, since they aren't looking to make big changes via free agency.

saw a few games. pretty sure he can still shoot. Lakers need spacing and another playmaker.

Re: ESPN: Suns to waive Vince Carter
Teams that want to win it all should never take Carter. Him and his cousin McGrady are cursed.

I guess that makes sense. He does occasionally and rarely have a decent game but to me, it's a terrible idea.

The Heat would do better getting a D-leaguer over T-Mac at this point in his career.

i doubt it works too, but its their last roll of the dice with this group, they need to take a gamble like this to get back into contention.

Re: ESPN: Suns to waive Vince Carter
Bulls. I'd go with Carter, Butler, Richardson, T-Mac and then Hamilton in that order as shooting guards I want to the Bulls to sign or trade for.
-
Re: ESPN: Suns to waive Vince Carter
I'm in full-fledged aging Vince Carter denial. I don't think I'm that much different from Tracy McGrady fans at the moment, except they may have more to hope for. I keep hoping Vince secretly regained full health in the off-season and got some of his bounce back. I think I'm just dreaming though.
