NJ Nets: VC's A Keeper. . . .For Now
NJ.com
by Dave D'Alessandro
Look where the Nets dumped Vince Carter's albatross of a salary — right back in the gloomy Izod Center!
This experience elicits the memory of a high-ranking Nets official in the winter of '07-08, who admitted something with an obvious trace of foreboding:
"The minute we signed Vince to that deal, we knew he was untradeable," the guy said.
The majority of you think that's a good thing. In which case we say, Congrats - he's staying. Until they go through the whole routine again this summer, which may lead to the same exact result, given the economy.
NoLandGrab: By "the majority of you," we believe D'Alessandro means the ever-shrinking pool of Nets fans. Among those who likely aren't too happy about the failure to make a deal is one Chuck Ratner, CEO of Forest City Enterprises, who surely views Cousin Brucie's Nets folly like the aforementioned albatross.
