Pretty impressive as long as all you're concerned with is highlight reel dunks. If you want to win games, well, probably a pretty bad idea. There is no way the Nets compete with top tier teams in the east without a big man, regardless of how many fast break lobs J-Kidd throws RJ and VC.

Yes, fans love Vince Carter. Let's face it, basketball is just a form of entertainment and VC is one of the most entertaining players in the NBA. He will sell tickets and increase revenue, especially in the short term. The only reason the Raptors have kept him around the last couple of years is the positive impact he has on the bottom line, it's business.
