Vince Carter to Orlando

[Goodfellas]

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) -- Vince Carter is going home to Orlando, and to the Eastern Conference champion Magic.

The New Jersey Nets have dealt the eight-time NBA All Star, who grew up in Daytona Beach and lives in Orlando, and forward Ryan Anderson to the Magic. The Nets get point guard Rafer Alston, shooting guard Courtney Lee and power forward Tony Battie.

The trade gives the Magic another star in a lineup that already includes Dwight Howard and Rashard Lewis. The deal might also convince Hedo Turkoglu, who can become a free agent on July 1, to remain with the Magic.

Orlando is hoping Carter, who has averaged 23.5 points over a 10-year pro career, will provide center Dwight Howard with a perimeter scorer who can create his own shot.

Carter could be a great player but he's lazy and dogs it, always have always will

[Goodfellas]

Maybe now that he is on a team that can actually win he will change his ways. Van Gundy will tear him apart if he pulls his antics.

Still an upgrade over Hedu dont ya think?

If the old Vince shows up the slasher/dunker not the fade away jump shooter they made a great move...
