"The question is where (Vince Carter) will be this time next year. As camp nears, speculation abounds about Carter's future. Rumors persist that (Vince Carter) might opt out of his contract after this season and sign with Orlando, where he already owns a massive home."
"Rod Thorn said yesterday what Carter has been saying: that Carter is happy here. But the Nets president also said that he hasn't had any substantive talks with Carter's representation about an extension."
"The reasons for moving to Orlando are numerous, beginning with the fact that Carter really wouldn't be moving. He already has family there. Orlando also has the allure of blossoming big man Dwight Howard and cap space."
"Then again, the Magic can't match the $16.3 million Carter already is due in 2007-08. "Orlando will have about $9.5million of cap room if they stay the way they are and they keep their big kid, Darko Milicic," Thorn said. "They'll have $9.5 million in cap room."
