Devin Harris had 18 points, two assists, and two rebounds in Tuesday's 108-88 loss to Washington.

Our View:Carter's been playing very well this year, averaging 23.8 points-per-game for the Nets, so it would be interesting to see if he could go to a contender and perhaps up his production even more.
