Bringing Carter back not only helps with chemistry and continuity but it gives the Mavs one of the better veteran shooters on the open market. There was talk that the Miami Heat might be interested in him but the Mavs love to watch out for their own and Vince Carter falls under the category of players fans and ownership love.
