<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Meanwhile, plenty of competition has cropped up in the Mavericks' pursuit of James, arguably the top free-agent guard left on the market. The Atlanta Hawks and Houston Rockets, among others, are pursuing the 6-2 guard, who averaged 20.3 points for Toronto this season. Because of the high interest, James and agent Bill Duffy appear to be in no hurry to accept the Mavericks' offer of their $5 million mid-level exception, or any other offer. Taking their time might pay off. The Hawks lost out on their bid to sign Sam Cassell. Since the Hawks are under the salary cap, they can offer James more money than the Mavericks. The Mavericks appear content to wait on James, although they also are interested in Denver forward Reggie Evans. The Rockets made a strong push for James as soon as the free-agent negotiating period started Friday. Coach Jeff Van Gundy was ringing James' doorbell at his Houston home at 11:01 p.m. to start the wooing process. Like the Mavericks, Houston is hesitant to give James, 31, more than a three-year contract.</div> http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/dw...fs.186dde8.html Mavs are offering their MLE to James.
hopefully james doesnt come to dallas. he'd ruin the chemistry and he makes bad decisions. Also, I'm pretty sure Ager, Harris and JET can more than handle the point. Playing James at SG is stupid, cuz he cant guard for balls
I think after resigning Terry, the Mavs have no need for James. Terry is a better scorer and descision maker. Don't take time away from Harris. That would be horrible.
I think he would fit better with houston. Mavs dont need him, and he dont neeed them. he wants to come to houston. so houston get ready for james.
Well obviously Cuban and Johnson feel that the Mavs need him or else they wouldn't have offered him a contract. There's not much chance that he will sign for the MLE anyways. The Mavs also offered to do a sign and trade with Toronto for Marquis Daniels but Colangelo declined that offer.
maybe he will replace terry, isnt he a restricted FA. just a thought. i mean this would open up harris to start, and then have james as ther backup
Considering Terry signed, this is pointless IMO. The Mavs need a backup PF much more than they need another shoot-first, pass-second undersized guard. Go for Evans or another PF; leave James to Atlanta
Yeah I'm pretty sure Mike James was a backup plan incase we couldnt afford Terry. We have no need for him in Dallas now.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Eclipse:</div><div class="quote_post">Terry already resigned a 6 year deal with the Mavs</div> o well then what is cuban thinking?
Its no Houston for James, but I bet he really wants to go play in Texas again. But I don`t get this trade either when they already have Jet, Harris, and Armstrong. Go after a back PF, Dallas...
