Having now lost forward Mike Milller, the Grizzlies are understandably desperate for a multi-capable wing with ball-handling and three-point shooting abilities.
Despite his age (37), Vince Carter can still produce, especially for a playoff-quality team. He profiles as a good ball-handler, who can defend and shoot threes. He should slot into the Sixth Man role in Memphis.
Last season, Carter averaged 11.9 points, 3.5 rebounds and 2.6 assists per game. The Toronto Raptors, Oklahoma City Thunder, Portland Trail Blazers and Miami Heat were also said to be interested in the aging swingman.
