When asked if he thought the Mavericks were about to compete, Vince Carter said, “No. I don’t think so. Not now.” The reasons are many, but one of them is that they need, and don’t have, a Vince Carter type. Not a young man, Vinsanity-Vince who can jump over defenders. They need veteran Vince. The person who understands the game, the dressing room, the floor, and can hold the ball, defend and shoot the ball. What he said about the current situation of the Mavericks is not encouraging. “I think (Kyrie Irving and Luka Doncic) can work, both of them together,” he said. “But I feel like the issue is the list; that’s the problem.” -via Fort Worth Star Telegram / April 25, 2023
