Like I said...VC is gonna earn his dunking abilities and everything else back this year. Im just waiting for it to happen. Ive been reading that hes in very good shape so I cant wait to see him in games and in this years Dunk Contest. Who says VC cant dunk? Ive got some Videos of him doin some awesome dunks just last year on some big players. VC will rise up and start jumpin over foreign players this year again...youll see

A Carter and someone decent, not any major player for Maggette and Kaman could be nice, but I don't know about it working under the CBA. The thing is: Maggette is almost 3 years younger, Maggette makes less money than Carter Carter has more player value, but his trade value isn't that much higher than Maggette because of these factors, player value and trade vlaue can vary at times. Like Michael Redd, his player value is about a little more than Maggette, but his trade value is one of the higher ones in the league because he only makes 3 million.
I think Maggette is better also, he has better "D", is younger, and most importantly IS NOT INJURY PRONE Carter has had his share of knee injurys. Maggette has a ton more potential, and he is already better then VC. Bottom Line: I would take Maggette over an injury prone carter any day. One thing that Vince will do that may have the Clippers management think about is VC puts butts in the seats...

Wow I never thought of Maggette being better then Vince. He did have better work ethic on grabbing the boards and getting to the line. I think Maggette is close to being Vince's equal. But I still feel that VC is better. I mean Maggette didn't carry his team to the playoffs in his career yet. I know Vince isn't doing that anymore himself, but I still feel like he edges out Maggette a bit.
vc is WAAAAAAY better then CM!!! for one vince's points probably would of been 3 per game higher if not for toronto's rigid defensive half court, slow tempo style of game last year. He's a much better passer, dribbler and jump shot...he's as multi dimensional as he wants to be, and properly motivated i'd bet the farm he could get back to his old self...you just have to get him playing angry. second off vince was playing with bosh, marshell and rose has legitimate scrorers so i dont think he had the pressure of putting up numbers like corey did. You'd have a hard time naming me 4 SF's that are better than him in this league,...even with the injuries. He didnt miss many games last year and played pretty good with decent %'s.

i dunno...he's not nearly as polished offensively. he's gotta pick up a decent jump shot before he can be considered an equal.
