Vince Carter to the Spurs?

According to Stephen A. Smith, the Nets are shopping Vince Carter to the Spurs for expiring contracts. The Nets would get back Bruce Bowen, Michael Finley, Kurt Thomas and some throw in players. The Nets badly want to unload Vince's bloated contract so that they can make a run at LeBron James in 2010. This would be a great move for the Spurs. If they can pair Vince up with Tim Duncan, Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili they would instantly become the favorites in the Western Conference. The move might push the Spurs into a luxury tax next year but I think it's worth it. The Spurs have a 2-3 year window with their current core of players and should take a shot at winning it all this year. The move would cost the Spurs about 40 million over the next 2 seasons and then they could unload Vince.

This would be a bad trade for the Nets. I know that they would get salary cap relief in the future but they wouldn't get any star caliber player back. The only way this works for the Nets is if they can convince LeBron, D Wade, Chris Bosh or Yao Ming to come to New Jersey in 2010.
