Rebuilding Nets must deal Carter

The Nets are officially rebuilding and it’s only a matter of time before Vince Carter is gone. The only question is where does he go? And can he accept a lesser role, possibly even one coming off the bench? The rest of the Nets team is so young that it’s laughable to suggest they would add another veteran to the mix. Even Nenad Kristic appears to want to play elsewhere. He’s wanting a longer deal than he’s shown he’s worth. The Nets often said, even when they had Kidd, that their success would depend on Kristic’s health. He was never healthy and the Nets were never serious title contenders. Both Kristic and Carter still have some nice trade value so if they can work out a deal to sign Kristic, they might be able to use him, along with Carter, in a sign a trade, possibly even for draft picks since New Jersey is no longer in a win-now mode.
