Mike James to Miami Heat?

Shapecity · Dec 11, 2009

If they could get Mike James without giving up Quentin Richardson, perhaps with the help of a third team, this deal would likely already be done. But [Quentin] Richardson's reviews in South Florida have mostly been positive after he was traded four times -- yes, four -- in the 2009 offseason.

Q-Rich, remember, went from New York to Memphis on draft day, from the Grizzlies to the Los Angeles Clippers in July in the Zach Randolph deal, from the Clippers to Minnesota in a deal headlined by Sebastian Telfair and Craig Smith and then from the Wolves to Miami in August for Mark Blount. If the Heat's growing need at guard becomes unbearable -- but if they're determined to spare Richardson his fifth trade in the span of about six months -- maybe either Miami or Washington will make a harder push to find a third-team facilitator.

The Heat would also appear to have some off-court motivation to reunite with James. ESPN.com has learned that James quietly hosted Miami's Michael Beasley in the private gym at his offseason home in Houston almost every night in August, when Beasley spent a month in town completing substance-abuse rehab. Miami officials got an up-close look at James when they went to Houston to check up on Beasley and saw first-hand that the two Mikes had struck a productive friendship.
