Me neither.
i haven't seen anywhere that mike james agreed to terms with the mavs...
Me neither.
There has been alot of talk about Terry starting at the 2 next season. They want more scoring at that spot, and also like Terry and Harris playing together. This would leave Harris starting at the 1 with James playing heavy minutes as his backup.
I like both situations for the Mavs. James plays good defense and is a good vet backup at the 1. Croshere is a good replacement for KVH. He can't be any worse in the clutch than KVH, plus he has an expiring contract. KVH is so injury proned, that the Mavs should actually get alot more out of croshere than they ever did from Van Horn. They just want another big man that can help stretch the floor a bit. Daniels was too far down the depth chart and was basically an expensive luxury.
Nothing that is especially exciting, but these are both solid moves for Dallas.
Thanks Spurs management for not going after Mike james ( a backup pg who would of been nice) and letting another elite team get stronger while we sit around watching the days go by!
Cant wait to see Eric Williams guard Dirk as pops small ball style rolls into full effect
mike james wouldve hurt the spurs with his ability to create his own shot and score in the clutch
Mike James would have hurt the Spurs with his ability to take up the whole midlevel without playing in the post.
instead we get scot pollard. whoop de ing doo.
im getting drunk tonite how about you?
I am planning on it. Oh well hey at least we have 3 les and we are saving up
that cap room
Augh... and here I thought the Spurs would get Croshere. Well, we can still hold out hope for KVH.

Reports today say James is close to a deal with the Rockets, not the Mavericks.
It wouldn't be surprising that someone at the Mavs FO would feed Randy Galloway a big sandwich so Cuban could enjoy watching him eat it.
That makes much more sense.
thank you, i don't know where people were getting this. i couldn't find anything besides him having talked to dallas.
I don't trust a player who's been unceremoniously DUMPED by multiple teams for the last 2-3 years. No matter how good he looks on paper, there's obviously something wrong with the guy.
Devin Harris and Jason Terry are worlds better than he is, and now they've got a logjam for minutes.
Keith Van Exel?Augh... and here I thought the Spurs would get Croshere. Well, we can still hold out hope for KVE.
Sounds like a nightmare I had once...
I fixed it.

Memphis center Lorenzen Wright and Toronto guard Mike James, both unrestricted free agents, are scheduled to meet with Wolves representatives in the next few days in Las Vegas. The team's summer league entry begins play tonight at the Cox Pavilion on the UNLV campus.
The 6-11 Wright, 30, averaged 5.8 points, 5.1 rebounds and 0.59 blocks -- all below his career averages -- in 78 appearances (58 starts). A local guy who also played at the University of Memphis, Wright was said to be disappointed that the Grizzlies have no interest in re-signing him.
Wright recently told the Memphis Commercial Appeal he was seeking at least a three-year contract.
James, 31, has been mentioned for weeks as a player the Wolves might pursue. The 6-2 guard averaged 20.3 points and 5.8 assists for the Raptors, while hitting 44.2 percent of his three-point shots (fourth in the league). Other teams interested in James include Houston and Dallas, with reports that the veteran of six NBA stops is seeking at least the full mid-level exception over five years, worth about $30 million.
has anyone heard some of the mike james has been talking this offseason? dude is nuts, hes talkin bout being a max franchise player, leading teams to championships, boxing and biting his way to the top, theres even an MP3 of a radio interview up on the realgm raps forum where he starts singing "this little light of mine..", funny !
i was very impressed with his play for the pistons in the playoffs, but dudes crazy. id love it if he went to the mavs and ed with their chemistry
Someone change the le of this thread. James has not agreed to terms with the Mavs yet.
Apparently he is meeting with the Wolves, Rockets, and Mavs today.

And the Toronto Sun is reporting that he is close to signing with the Rockets.

I agree totally...another KVHWhat the ? Stupid ass trade for the mavshttp://www.dallasnews.com/sports/?nl
Avery is the one that told him that the team would try as hard as possible to get Mike James. And why would Cuban try to set Randy up? Ooooh - because you think what happens on the radio is how things are in reality.
1. James is NOT signed. He's in MN today talking to the T-wolves.
2. KVH's contact is DONE. He won't be back. (unless they trade Croshere and bring KVH back for CHEAP)
3. Croshere is similar to KVH, but a little better rebounder.
4. Daniels wasn't going to get PT here and his contract was too much. From a contract / salary standpoint, this trade makes perfect sense for the Mavs. I hope Daniels does well in IN...he's a good guy off the court and he's got talent around the basket. Needs to work on his jumpshot and hopefully have some better luck as far as injuries go.
5. There is always the chance that they'll try to move Croshere and his expiring contract for another piece that they like.

What he said. I still think James will end up back in Houston.
