    Smart move. Carter is over the hill.

    I think we should try to pick him up. I know he's over the hill, but the guy can still score and it would be another veteran to help us in the playoffs.

    In all reality, I wouldn't be surprised if that's where he ended up.

    I bet he goes to the Heat or Celtics to try to ride the bandwagon to a title.

    Yeah, I was thinking the Celtics would be another possible destination for him, but he's from Florida so I wouldn't be surprised if he ends up with the Heat.

    He'd fit in great with the other old timers on the Celtics.

    With them waiving Carter and G. Hill coming off the books, I wonder if they would want to dump more salary. If they were to say, trade Nash for Andre Miller and Batum, they could then choose not to extend Miller's contract and about another $8 mill. would come off their books. They already have Aaron Brooks at PG who could start and by picking up Batum, they get a young starting SF who is only a couple million. As for the Blazers, having Nash to run the point for a year and be a better outside shooter than Miller wouldn't be a bad thing. Anyway, it will be interesting to see what the Suns do in the next week or so.

    Not sure I want to give up Batum for him, but maybe if we did Grant Hill would sign with us too, he could be great to have around for passing, defense, and encouraging Roy (if we're keeping him around).

    Nash/Roy/Wallace/Aldridge/Oden?
    Matthews/Hill/Camby
