The Nets are continuing to downplay talks of a Vince Carter trade, but several general managers believe that they are looking to deal the guard.

New Jersey "wants off Vince," one general manager told J.A. Adande of ESPN.

Carter is due $16.3 million next season and $17.3 million in 2010-11.

"It comes down to New Jersey giving Vince away," another general manager said. "They're hemorrhaging money."
