<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Chicago Tribune columnist Sam Smith doesn't think much of Vince Carter. In answering a reader's question about whether the Bulls should look to deal for Carter, Smith declares that Carter is afraid to attack the basket because he doesn't like contact and that "he could never help [the Nets] get anywhere." Smith also says that Jason Kidd's dislike for Scott Skiles would probably prevent any Chicago deal for the point guard.</div> Source
Why doesn't Kidd like Skilies? VC should learn to attack the basket every game. I hate it when he only takes jumpers.

Like the columnist said, the real problem is that he's settling for jumpshots instead of trying to slash to the rim. I'm not sure what's going on with Carter this year but something seems wrong with him. I don't know if it's mental but his game just isn't as explosive as it has been in recent years.

I think that's a stupid reason. VC needs to step up and not be a ***** and take the contact like a Lerbon, Wade, or Kobe.
VC is what he is at this point of his career. He's trigger happy with his jumpshot. It's frustrating wathcing VC not attack the basket knowing that he has the ability to finish with the best of them. He should be goin at the FT line much more than he does. At times I wish he didn't really have that jumper he did so he would be forced to drive, like his rookie season.
