Vince Carter wants to remain with the Dallas Mavericks

Vince Carter knows Mavericks's team is better than last year’s and he desperately wants to hang around to see this rebuilding project through to the end.

“I think I’ve earned the right to stick around,” Carter said.

The 6-6 future Hall of Famer will be a free agent after this season. Carter’s three-year contract he signed before the 2011-12 season has been a huge bargain, as the Mavericks paid him only about $9.3 million for those years of work.

He hopes it is a no-brainer that he re-signs with the Mavericks.
