Vince Carter apparently is keeping Vinsanity in New Jersey.The Newark Star Ledger is reporting that Carter, who opted out of the final year of his contract which called for a $16.3 million salary next season, has agreed to a four-year, $61.8 million contract with the Nets. The contract with the team holds an option for a fifth year.
The deal will not be official until July 11 when free-agent deals can be signed.

I am stunned. I thought for sure he'd be Miami-bound. But I guess money talks, and for whatever reason, the Nets were desperate to keep him.

I am suprised, too. Especially because Rod Thorn is so astute. Didn't he see enough failure in the playoffs from Carter? I guess not.

He brings in a lot of fans. I bet that is why he was desperate to sign him. They still need a big guy to help out. Will they have enough money to still try and get O'Neal.

Actually, the Nets were one of the lowest drawing as a % of capacity. They were 24th of 30, only filling 85% of the building....And trust me, that's tickets sold...Most night that place was empty.
