Vince likes his present
NY Daily News

Do the financial woes of the NJ Nets figure into the potential re-signing of Nets star forward Vince Carter?
With owner Bruce Ratner hemorrhaging millions the longer his proposed arena is delayed, the Nets may not be able to afford an expensive long-term deal for Carter even if the owner will make a fortune if the arena is approved.
The Nets - who could always try to trade Carter while his value is high for a big man - likely would want to sign him for considerably less than a maximum deal. The Nets had reservations about giving Kidd a max deal when he was a 30-year-old free agent in 2003.
