ESPN.com - Mike James, who has been deciding between the Houston Rockets , Dallas Mavericks and Minnesota Timberwolves is expected to be making his decision Tuesday.
James, the 31 year old point guard who had a breakout year averaging 20.3 points-per-game and 5.8 assists-per-game, recently met with the Western Conference champion Dallas Mavericks ' coach Avery Johnson.
"The biggest 'wow' in this whole situation has been Avery Johnson," James says. "I respect him as a coach, but we have a relationship beyond the court. We've been friends for some years now. I've always respected Avery, even as a player when he had that broke jump shot. But he has a ring and he knows what it takes to win. He's been the person who has wowed me the most through this process."
James has been looking to sign with a title contender throughout the free agency process.
