    I disagree... They might scan this once every few months. Which means they missed some of the most deep and insightful thoughts some of us may have had on page 3 of "Come on home Vince!"

     

    I think if they were to interact with us it would open up a whole new level of accountability and they wouldnt like to have their opinions critiscized or confronted. 10-20 members out of 1000+ on this board give an insightful commentary on why brian hill should be traded, re-assigned, or promoted. The other 1000+ say fire **** brian hill, he sux ***. Now if they opened up limited discussion such as lets say this week otis will have a chat online with some of us, we're still gonna get the same answers like "i think Brians doing a great job" "I fully expect brian to fullfill his contractual obligations". However if they opened up fan input on various trade scenarios and maybe put some restrictions on them so that you dont have people saying trade lebron for arroyo stuff, that might be cool.

     

    I mean if he is willing to listen to real scenarios from people like us just for the purpose of maybe seeing something from another side that would be awesome. I dont know people come up with other ideas that would be beneficial for RDV to do with out to much negativity or criticism backlash from fans pushing them away. Even if they posed a hypothetical question such as "Who shoudl we hire as new coach, and why" (after they fire brian hill of course) or "who should we draft in the second round" topics on our forums with maybe the moderators weeding out real responses from frivoluos ones and forwarding the responses on to otis, and to actually have him respond would be great~!

    Let me make it more real for you...

     

    If you live in New Jersey and you make 50,000 a year. You pay 4,300 of it to the state. Meaning you take home 45,700 before all other taxes (federal, FICA, SSI). Now imagine a company will offer you 38,500 to relocate for the same job in a company with tremendous up swing and you will be able to retire in your own hometown. Also because you've relocated to florida there is no state tax, you make 38,500 then subtract your taxes (federal, FICA, SSI). on top off all that you will be close to your children and wont have to wait till the summer to see them, or never meet their friends, but you will be there for guidance and other important things. On top of that your company is offering you other bonuses to make up about 4k or 5k so the differnce in salary is not to great in the end. Oh one more thing... Real Estate is 30-40% cheaper in this state then New Jersey. Now you have other avenues to invest your money.

     

    Last but not least the home that you do own in florida, you will be able to spend all your time there, plus the weather is better in orlando.

     

    Now which company will you work for??

     

    My name is Vince carter and i'm moving to O-town....

    I believe the Magic will try and sign Vince to a contract starting around $12 million. This is $4 million less than he will make in New Jersey, but here are some things to consider. New Jersey State Tax is about 9% and that is by itself, $1.5 million. My guess with extra bills like owning an additional house, extra cars, flights, amenities, property tax rates, etc tally up to at least another $1 million. So now the Magic
