What Would Bruce Do?
As NJ Nets owner Bruce Ratner is set to pull the trigger and seize people's homes to build a new arena for the team in Prospect Heights, the big decision he's facing is whether or not to sign Vince Carter.

Owner Bruce Ratner said during the season he would be willing to pay a luxury tax penalty, but Thorn suggested the Nets may only be willing to go so far to bring back Carter.

Note to Bruce Ratner: Unless you feel Wince's knee(s) will return to near 100-percent effectiveness, he appears to be a high-risk free agent (assuming he opts out) on a downward spiral.

Although owner Bruce Ratner said he will pay luxury tax to keep Carter, Thorn doesn't want to overpay because he has other moves to make. The Nets can extend Nenad Krstic's contract by Oct. 31, want to re-sign Mikki Moore and will look outside to "to get stronger" inside. Richard Jefferson, who was not here Monday for personal reasons, could be packaged for a big man if Carter is re-signed.
