Nets perspective: A good point guard can do wonders for a career, so we'll see what Jason Kidd does for Vince Carter. The big question with Kidd and Carter are injuries. The thought of Kidd running with Jefferson on one wing, Carter the other is exciting, but who are the front court players for the Nets? The East is weak, so this trade is worth the gamble, although the Nets will miss the little things Aaron and Eric Williams do.
Raptor's perspective: They got rid of Carter, so it's a success. Chris Bosh is an exciting young player, so it's good to get a malcontent like Carter away from him. But could they have gotten more? As Celtics fans can tell you, getting extra draft picks can be good (this year:Jefferson, West, Allen) or not so good (Joe Johnson, Kedrick Brown, Joe Forte). Eric and Aaron Williams are good role players and Alonzo probably won't play for them, but this trade isn't about improving this year's Raptors. It was about getting rid of Carter's attitude and contract and probably setting the Raptors up for some more trades.
Good trade for both teams; each team was going nowhere so why not make a trade? The Nets are taking on more risk because of Carter's baggage and contract, but it may be worth it, especially with the East so weak.
