Read point number 4. it's fascinating how things go down like dominos<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>NBACW: Free-agent guard MikeJames, the best point guard available this summer, will end up with Houston, Dallas or Minnesota.Could be true. But don't forget one other team: Miami, which is making an effort to repatriate James to South Florida, where he broke into the league as an undrafted free agent in 2001.The Heat have at least a puncher's chance for four reasons:1. Miami's now the defending champion, and never discount that as a factor for a player.2. James immensely enjoyed playing for Pat Riley when he was with the Heat and often has said that Riley helped him believe he could play in the league.3. With Gary Payton on his last legs, Miami needs a third guard to rotate with Wade and Jason Williams.4. The Heat owe James' agent, Bill Duffy, a monster favor.Three years ago, Duffy's office failed to inform the Heat that his client, then-Heat guard Anthony Carter, wanted to exercise a player option in his contract. That mistake cleared more than $4 million in unexpected cap room for the Heat that summer, which allowed Miami to make a play for Clippers free-agent forward Lamar Odom.Odom signed with Miami. And without Odom, there's no way the Heat could have put together a package attractive enough to the Lakers to acquire Shaquille O'Neal in the summer of 2004.General managers rarely forget when player agents help them out, willingly or unwillingly. Lord knows Duffy probably hasn't.</div>SOURCE
Please? Why would they pay that much for a player who would share time with Jason Williams, Gary Payton, and possibly Dwyane Wade? Mike wouldnt enjoy being buried on the bench, either. He doesnt want to ride the bench, he wants to start. I expect him to sign with the Wolves because he would get the starting job there.
Mike James wants to be a star, he wants to lead a team by himself or maybe with a co-star. He at least wants to start! Miami wouldn't work for him.
God I hope he doesn't end up there. You might as well crown the Heat the champions if he goes there since that is a huge upgrade at point guard for Miami.

I'm not really sure if James fits on a team with Walker. You should only have so many guys with "bad attitudes".
Yeah true. James doesn't fit in Dallas though since Dallas needs a playmaker like Harris to start and Miami has that already in Dwyane Wade so James would fit perfectly Miami as a spot up shooter.
