I think though Vince is in a contract year, it's really not the same as guys in contract years who aren't proven. This isn't Larry Hughes or Bonzi Wells or something, we've seen Vince for 8 years or whatever it is, people already know what he can do, so even if he has a better year it wouldn't change the monetary value he would've recieved anyways. Either way, it's always nice to have guys play well.
<div class="quote_poster">Kristic Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">speaking of bonzi wells...has he got signed yet?</div> Yes. The Houston Rockets signed him to a one year deal or, is it more than that?
VC and RJ will have great years. I hope that JKidd doesn't play like Shaq. Shaq decreased his numkbers like hell and isn't as good anymore. I think Kidd has some more years left in him.
