Free-agent guard Vince Carter has agreed to a three-year, $12 million contract with the Memphis Grizzlies.
Memphis no longer wanted to wait on its own free agent, Mike Miller, who has a strong interest in joining LeBron James with Cleveland, sources said.
The third year of Carter’s deal with Memphis is partially guaranteed, league sources said.
For Memphis, Carter is a terrific offensive talent to bring to its bench. Carter, 37, spent the past three seasons with the Dallas Mavericks. He averaged 11.9 points and a little more than 24 minutes per game while making 39.4 percent of his 3-point attempts last season.
