This team isn't in 'win now' mode, so I fail to see what a player in the twilight of his career who has never been known as a 'character' player, will really add. MU has always been about talent acquisition and stacking young prospects with upside at every position - signing VC would seem to run counter to his MO, in a blatant attempt to cash-in on nostalgia and marketing, ahead of the team's 20th anniversary and all-star hosting.
You guys need to reset your brains a bit. carter is good, and he's a solid vet. Period.

Exacty, the main goal is the first rounder, the trial run of an old veteran at the same position that we need is just an extra. We get the first rounder for taking on the extra year of contract that is Prince.

I agree with Joey. I love Al Horford's game, but I am reluctant to bring him in based on his injury-prone ways.
However,the lineup that CalgaryRapsFan mentioned is extremely solid.
I must say though, that we still need to sign a backup centre (Im still leaning towards Jordan Hill)I know this may be a bit controversial but I think the Raptors have proven that they're the best team in the NBA from Canada

FYI, I dug around on CBAFAQ and found the reference you are probably remembering. Free agent cap holds are excluded from team salary only when considering exceptions and S+T's in relation to the apron and whether a hard cap is instituted. Check Q14. I believe that is where your confusion is coming from.

white men can't jump wrote: View PostPrince is washed up. He wasn't that bad this year, but he could be John Salmons useless by next season. And I don't know, you'd have to specifically have a target that falls on draft day to make that worthwhile. I really don't care to have Prince on this team.If we knew half as much about coaching an NBA team as we think, we"d know twice as much as we do.

GLF wrote: View PostWell I was somewhat exaggerating but at 38 he can become shit at anytime. 38 is A LOT older than I thought he was. This could easily be his last good season. I would not be shocked at all if he came here next season and played no where as good as he played for Dallas. Age creeps up on you very unexpectedly. One day you just wake up and can't do what you used to. But hey if we do get Vince hopefully he has one more good season in him. But from the way he's talking it doesn't look like he'll be coming here.
Also, the way he is talking is the way any respected veteran should be talking the day after your team was eliminated from the playoffs.

Some fans will have a lot of expectations from this 38 year old Carter and if things don't go right all the media focus will be on how Carter not playing well as opposed to how well the team is or other players on that team are doing.
Just wait until fans start booing Carter when he starts playing badly and questioning his heart(we may have some of the best fans but we also have some of the worst haters in this league), this team could turn into a mess.
Too much bad history, drama and blood there from this potential signing to it turning into a success story.your pal,

Some fans will just boo Carter for fun, hell we got stupid fans who boo the Raptors when they don't get their stinking slice of pizza.
