concensus says... G-Wallace and McDyess.... let's hope the chips fall that way.

I personally like Vince Carter.  Call me crazy, but before the big three played in Boston many would probably think that Pierce, Garnett, and Allen couldn't all cooperate.  Sure Vince Carter typically takes a lot of shots but look at the horrible team he's on.  His defense isn't that great but he's got size, maybe under Mike Brown he'd step that up a notch?   He also has been quite durable over the last few years, not his whole career, but last few at least. 

Anyway... heres where i'm gettin.   I personally like vince.  But most hate him.  The Fact is... his contract lasts far too long and we really do not need a SG.   Delonte has been absolutely Lights out and we have almost too much depth at SG now.  Boobie, Wally, Sasha, Delonte.  These 4 are rotating minutes, so it makes no sense in going after yet another guard.    McDyess is a perfect fit, and since theres a very good chance he's signing with Detroit (At least thats what his friend Ben Wallace thinks)   The only position that we could use at the moment is a PF or even a Center.  

If We don't McDyess.   Im hoping we do a trade involving Wally for Brad Miller.  I know there was a thread about this a couple days ago, but that makes a lot of sense.   Millers Contract even expires for 2010. 

Maybe VC has been "durable" for the past couple years, but I have an idea as to why.  He doesn't work hard.  He rarely attacks the paint lately, and when he does, it's only on iso plays where he knows he isn't going to have a big flying at him to hurt his delicate body.  He doesn't rebound as well as his length should dictate and he rarely defends dynamic wing players.  His wussy playing style and horrible contract are a terrible fit for this team.

Good post from a guy who likes VC. Nice to see that you understand we don't NEED him even though you like him.

I do say that the ONLY thing we need is a PF is kinda wrong. We also need a wing defender real bad.

To go along with my previous post. Vince Carter has always been the number 1 guy. Putting him alongside LeBron and Mo would give him open looks he's never seen before. He'll take less shots, but probably shoot a higher percentage.

Giving up a player like Wally for Vince Carter is a no brainer IMO
