So It Happened

Jun 25, 2009 Sad, Trades, Vince Carter
Vince Carter got traded. Along with Ryan Anderson. For Battie, Skip, & Courtney Lee. From Yahoo Sports:
The New Jersey Nets have agreed in principal to sendVince Carter(notes) and Ryan Anderson to the Orlando Magic forRafer Alston(notes), Tony Battie(notes) and Courtney Lee(notes), two league executives told Yahoo! Sports.
The Nets will draft Louisville shooting guard Terrence Willams at No. 11, if he’s still available.
I don’t even know where to begin. I know it is the right move…but still…VC gone? I don’t even know what to think. Hey, at least we are going to take Terrence Williams now. Like I said, if you want to hear my current reactions, join the live-chat. There will be some posts about this later tonight/tomorrow.

I hate giving away VC, he was a stud and a professional about this all, but still, at least we good a really really good player in Courtney Lee for it

Yeah, and I really hope that Rod and Kiki get a power forward because I am seriously wondering if they are thinking Yi can handle the starting position once again. I was thinking they would draft Tyler Hansbrough but Terrence Williams is an excellent option also, giving us a defensive and mature presence that our team lacks. Rod and Kiki did a tremendous job in crafting a reasonable deal that is far beneficial than Ben Wallace and Sasha Pavlovic. Courtney will be a star in the league, and we get two vets. Also 2 trade exceptions. Smile, because this is far better than anyone expected to get for an aging wing player

Thanks for the comments guys…C.Lee and D.Harris makes a real entertaining backcourt, so this will be real fun to watch.
