June 12, 2007 -- The Nets' draft search for size continues almost daily. And so does the quest to keep Vince Carter in New Jersey. While stressing nothing was pending, team president Rod Thorn yesterday acknowledged talks with Carter's camp are continuing, and sounded guardedly optimistic the Nets will be able to keep their leading scorer. "There's not really anything imminent to report, but have we had conversations? Yes, we have," said Thorn, who watched four more draft hopefuls, including 6-10 Cal forward/center DeVon Hardin, yesterday in a joint workout session with the Knicks in Greenburgh. "We've said we'd like to sign Vince, and nothing has changed about that," Thorn said. "Hopefully, we'll get it done." Carter has until the end of the month to opt out of the final season of his contract, worth $16.3 million. The consensus feeling is he will do that but then remain in New Jersey with a new contract. Figure he gets a four-year deal totaling in the $60 million to $65 million neighborhood. And while talks progress on the Carter front, Thorn squashed a rumor of Richard Jefferson to Portland for power forward Zach Randolph. "I never had a conversation with them," Thorn said. "They have talked to several teams, but we were not one of them." For the immediate future, the Nets look to satisfy their need for frontcourt size and athleticism through the draft. They already have worked out several big men who have impressed. Hardin, though considered raw offensively, is a guy who will be added to the Nets' mix for their pick at 17. VC可能以四年6000万~6500万的价码和篮网签下延长合约 也就是说平均年薪1500~1600万 这个薪资和合约长度我认为合理 不过如果成真我会很失望 签下这个合约代表以後不太可能交易掉VC 因为薪资高 合约太长 这个合约将养VC到35岁 几乎笃定是最後一张大合约 VC也到了可能会开始走下坡的年纪 随着时间流失 交易的价值会愈来愈低 当然 我不是期望VC被交易 而是这代表篮网将只有交易RJ一途 否则就是赌上big 3能够撑起未来 有Frank在 我从来就没有想过靠big 3能拿总冠军 RJ有那个条件交易堪用的防守形大个子? 我相信机会很小 我觉得最理想的结局是以自由球员身分加盟他队 也不用考虑先签後换 便宜了篮网又带给未来的母队负担 除非真的能达到各取所须才考虑 希望这只是则rumor 不要成真 --
