THE MAVS CONTINUE TO MAKE WAVES IN FREE AGENCY BY CUTTING TIES WITH VINCE CARTER. THE GUARD MOVES ON TO THE MEMPHIS GRIZZLIES AFTER THE MAVS WERE UNABLE TO RESIGN THE TARHEEL DUE TO THE THREE YEAR, FORTY-SIX MILLION DOLLAR OFFER TO HOUSTON'S CHANDLER PARSONS. MEMPHIS WAS TIRED OF WAITING ON THEIR FREE AGENT MIKE MILLER, WHO IS SHOWING STRONG INTERESTS IN THE CAVS, AND MADE THE MOVE TO SIGN THE VETERAN LEADER. CARTER DID NOT WANT TO WAIT ON THE MAVS EITHER AND STRUCK WHILE THE IRON WAS HOT WITH THE GRIZZLIES. CARTER HAS AVERAGED 20.2 POINTS, 4.9 BOARDS AND 3.7 ASSISTS IN HIS 16-SEASON NBA CAREER. THE ROCKETS HAVE UNTIL 11:59 EASTERN ON SUNDAY TO DECIDE TO MATCH THE OFFER SHEET SIGNED BY PARSONS WITH THE MAVS EARLIER THIS WEEK.
