Vince Carter On The Way To Orlando
Two interesting tidbits from NJ.com and Fox Sports that are sure to stir the emotions of die-hard Orlando Magic fans like myself...
The first, from NJ.com...
"There have been reports out of Orlando that the Magic will vigorously pursue Vince Carter next summer -- when he has the option to terminate his Nets contract and play the free-agent market for the first time -- but his future has suddenly become more difficult to discern.
According to a close friend of the Nets forward, Carter and his wife, Ellen, recently initiated divorce proceedings, which may be a major factor in his next move.
If his wife gains custody of their 1-year-old daughter and moves back to Orlando or her own hometown in South Carolina, Carter could be motivated to sign with the Magic or Charlotte Bobcats just to stay close, as both teams have substantial cap room to sign him."

And from our friends at Fox Sports...
"Word on the street is Vinsanity going to Orlando next year is almost a done deal, although a lot can happen between now and then. He's a Florida native, and Orlando will definitely have the money to spend by then. Teaming the superstar with Dwight Howard, Jameer Nelson and Darko is a frightening proposition for the rest of the East, and possibly the league."

Sadly, this won't come to pass until next season. But
finally, Orlando are starting to atone for the Shaq, Hardaway, Billups, Wallace and T-Mac fiasco's.
A Nelson, Turkoglu, Carter, Howard, Milicic starting five has me sufficiently intruiged. If we struggle through this season,next year's draft is said to be in the same likeness of the Lebron, Melo, Wade draft.
