Vince for TMac??

The Nets and Rockets are considering swapping cousins trading Tracy McGrady for Vince Carter. The Rockets have grown tired of the often injured Tracy McGrady. McGrady was once considered an untouchable by the Rockets. They envisioned McGrady and Yao being as formidable a partnership as Shaq and Kobe were. It never happened. Yao and McGrady are always hurt. They have never even played closed to a full season together. TMac's problems have never been from a lack of effort just a lack of good health.

Meanwhile Vince Carter hasn't been right since he left Toronto. He was one of the games most exciting players when he was in Toronto. Vince has always been too eager to settle for the long jumper. He is not aggressive enough and does not attack the basket. Vince is content just being a pretty good player and not a great one. If Vince maximized his ability he would be mentioned in the same breath with Kobe Bryant and LeBron James.

I don't think that this deal would make much of a difference to either team. The Rockets are not much better with VC instead of TMac. The Nets still wouldn't match up any better with the Celtics or Cavs if they did get McGrady. It makes you wonder just what would have happened if Vince and Tracy had stayed in Toronto and played together their whole careers. Maybe things would have turned out differently.
