Talk about your unsettled situations. Surrounding himself with kids at his annual weeklong basketball camp is the only normal thing about this summer for Vince Carter, who has reached a stage where you can only throw your hands in the air and say, "Who knows?" The NBA is in lockout mode -- no team activities whatsoever until a new collective bargaining agreement is hatched. If and when that happens (most suspect later rather than sooner), Carter will have to wait and see if the Phoenix Suns care to retain his services (the insiders say that's questionable, at best). And by the way, he's 34, which, by NBA standards means he should be wearing Velcro sneakers and spying early-bird specials."
