Mike James?

[DoDiGaG0]

The guy averaged 20% PPG while shooting 47%

I know hes isnt "great" but he would be a really nice backup PG and can light it up when Bibby is on the bench

would you guys be happy if he was brought in?

I'd be extremely happy, but unless Mike Bibby was out the door I don't think James would be interested in Sacramento. He's going to want a starting job. I think he'll end up in Atlanta.

 

[Kings113]

Absolutely. Mike is one of my favorite players. But I don't think we can get him with his value, and not sure if he'd want to be a back-up now.

Toronto is very close to shipping him to Dallas for Marquis Daniels.

 

[Sac.Kings]

Chances of James accepting a backup role to Bibby and getting an average salary to come to the Kings is miniscule.

I thought that was just the backup plan in case Terry left.

 

[Kings113]

I wonder if James would except being a back-up to Terry, who plays a lot. And go back into his old role from Detroit and Houston... 10-15 minute spark guy with defense and scoring.

But, if Dallas does that, they have a bunch of scoring PGs/combo guards.

They they are still attempting to work it out. Avery says he LOVES the idea of Terry and James in the backcourt at the same time.

I know of a couple Maverick and Raptor insiders, and, the deal is still being worked on.

However, I'm not sold if it's good or bad for the Mavs. lol

Rumor is that Avery wants to start Terry and James TOGETHER. I guess since both are kind of combo guards, its the same theory as Zeke is trying in NY.

 

[ezekielbear]

Dallas does need that "3rd" guy...which James has the ability to be...

But his attitude is highly questionable.

And, I like Quis...Avery just gets a bit too frustrated with him, IMO.

lol, wow... well, I guess James would be more of the defensive, hustle guy of the two, while Terry does most of the scoring.

I don't know if they'll win a title like that though.

OMG I HOPE THE MAVS GET MIKE JAMES! Seriously that should make playing against them much easier, especially in crunch time. The guy doesn't want to pass the ball, he wants to make a play for himself. That's why Raps fans/players/management got angry at him, he likes chucking up shots in the 4th quarter. Also Daniels is good when he gets PT, so I hope they trade him.

 

[Kings113]

I think Avery would lay down the law for him in Dallas... and draw up something similar to what I said.

Sure they'd be dangerous offensively, but with possibly Bonzi/Kevin/Ron/Garcia/some Douby playing at SG at times, we'd have more advantages.

 

[Kings113]

He said "he wants the keys to the car", as his moreso. I think Atlanta fits that better than Dallas.

I disagree, adding a 20 ppg scorer who shoots above 40% from 3 and plays good defense is not something that would make Dallas worse. It would give them almost infinite lineup possibilities. Against teams with a weak 2 guard they'd play Terry/James/Howard/Dirk/Dampier. Against teams with a strong 2 guard like the Kings they'd play Terry or James/Stack/Howard/Dirk/Dampier or variations.

Mike James isnt a selfish player lmfao

hes very good and can do whatever he is asked

he was defensive stopper in Detriot and very rarely shot the ball

he averaged 20 ppg VERY EFFICIENTLY this year because TORONTO NEEDED him to
