Sources: Mavs, Corey Brewer close

Free-agent swingman Corey Brewer is closing in on a deal with the Dallas Mavericks, according to sources briefed on the discussions.

Brewer was pursued by several teams after negotiating his release Monday from the New York Knicks, but sources said that the Mavericks have offered a multiyear deal to Brewer that starts in the $2 million range.

Two sources said that the deal, barring an unexpected late snag, was on course to be agreed to in principle later Wednesday. But Brewer can't actually sign with the Mavericks until he clears waivers.
