That's OK. I think he only signed a four-year contract this time. There might be a partially guaranteed fifth year or something.
By the way, I find this hysterical since New Jersey fans were so quick to guarantee us this summer that there was no way the Nets were letting Vince get away to sign with the Magic. I don't even know if the Magic truly showed interest. But the Nets got him re-signed, and now they're trying to get rid of him.
Say what you want about the Magic's management, but they don't sign someone just so someone else can't and then start trying to move the guy in the same season that he signed the contract.
As to the actual deal, even if you wanted to do it, I still don't think there are enough salary dollars to make the deal work. That's not even $11 million in salaries, and Vince makes $16 million. You've got to get within $3.2 million.
