Bucks in advanced talks on deal with Jason Terry, sources say

The Milwaukee Bucks are in advanced discussions to sign veteran guard Jason Terry to bolster their backcourt and add leadership to a young roster, according to league sources.

Sources told ESPN.com that the Bucks are closing in on the signing of Terry, whom they've targeted to lend a much-needed dose of experience to their locker room after the 38-year-old spent the past two seasons with the Houston Rockets.

Terry is a former NBA Sixth Man Award winner (2009) who won an NBA championship with the Dallas Mavericks in the 2010-11 season alongside Bucks coach Jason Kidd, then the Mavericks' starting point guard.

Selected No. 10 overall in the 1999 draft, Terry has played for five teams in his 17 seasons -- Atlanta, Dallas, Boston, Brooklyn and Houston -- and ranks third all time in the NBA in 3-pointers made, behind only Ray Allen and Reggie Miller.
