TrueHoop : “David Thorpe, for one, thinks whichever team gets Carter will get this trade season’s big prize. Stats or no stats, Thorpe says Vince Carter is worth the price. ‘If the Spurs, Rockets, or Blazers get Vince Carter without giving up much,’ he says, ‘they join the Lakers right there as the favorites in the Western Conference.’ He goes on to describe Carter at length as a Dean Smith-coached superstar with a basketball IQ so high he could succeed with any teammates and in any system.

It’s the sort of high risk/high reward trade scenario that places a bickering angel and devil on each shoulder, shouting one another down, collapsing the distance between themselves.
