Carter to make debut with Nets
Detroit News: Ratner hopes Carter will have many of the answers for his detractors: disillusioned fans, the press, & Jason Kidd.
"I'm going to make a lot of people eat their words when it's time," Carter told reporters in New Jersey last week. Carter was referring to the avalanche of criticism he took on his way out of Toronto about how his game and his status in the league had deteriorated.
The Nets are 9-16 heading into Carter's debut, and there are a lot of issues still on the table. Namely, will his acquisition be enough to keep Jason Kidd happy and in New Jersey? And, can he co-exist on the court with Richard Jefferson -- who plays essentially the same position and the same style as Carter.
