Vince Carter has yet to do any contact drills with the Dallas Mavericks because of knee tendinitis, coach Rick Carlisle said. It is not a major health concern for the 34-year-old swingman, an eight-time All-Star who recently signed for the mini-midlevel exception. The Mavericks hope Carter can participate in the team’s second practice Thursday. “It’s a process, and we don’t have a whole lot of time,” Carlisle said. “We’ve got to make every second count.” ESPN.com

Vince Carter made it through waivers and was signed by the Mavericks this evening to a three-year contract. The deal starts at about $3 million, which was all the Mavericks had to offer under terms of the new collective-bargaining agreement. The final two years are partially guaranteed.

"I'm pretty sure if you go down the line of teams, every GM has a pretty good relationship with not just the best player but all the players," Howard said. "If you don't have a good relationship with the people you work with, how are you going to get better?" Smith has made several large trades over the last two years in an effort to strengthen the team around Howard before he hit free agency in 2012, trading for Vince Carter before the 2009-10 season and then trading for Gilbert Arenas and Hedo Turkoglu during last season. Howard said he pushed for other moves that were not made. "The stuff that I have asked for, the stuff I felt our team needed to get better, none of it has happened," Howard said. "That's not me being cocky but I want to be involved with the organization. I've been here for a long time, I don't want to sit around." ESPN.com

Carter will not officially clear waivers until Monday afternoon, which means that's the earliest he will be able to sign his contract. There have been no complications with the deal and all signs point to a signing Monday. Carter's deal will be for the mid-level exception, which for the Mavericks will be $3 million because they have nudged into luxury-tax territory. It will go on the books as a three-year deal although years two and three are only partially guaranteed. Dallas Morning News

Kidd said he had no input in the Mavs' decision to go after Carter, 34, who is expected in Dallas on Sunday. It is not certain if he will be signed and ready to suit up for either of Sunday's two practices. When he is signed, Carter will added needing scoring punch to the wing. He can play either shooting guard or small forward, a position that can be rather interchangeable in coach Rick Carlisle's offense. The two-guard spot is crammed with Rudy Fernandez expected to join the team soon, Jason Terry, plus Rodrigue Beaubois and Dominique Jones, but both the latter two youngsters will also be used in a backup point-guard capacity. "I wouldn't even say he's at the 2," Terry said. "In this system you're just a player. If you can dribble, you can shoot and you can drive and play 'D,' come in, we don't know what position you're going to play." ESPN.com

Vince Carter is close to joining the world champion Dallas Mavericks, according to a source with knowledge of the negotiations. The only holdup now is if Carter will agree to a one-year contract, since the Mavs want to maintain their salary cap flexibility for next summer's free-agent market. Fort Worth Star-Telegram
