with all the rumors that we are trading for a PG, i find this as an unlikely option. however, if our trade options fall through then i would say get this guy.
Mike James is a solid PG option. I am not sure he is 'starter' material but he certainly is a solid backup. It will be interesting to see where he goes.
I would like him, Lindsey Hunter to be the back........they pressure full courst the heck out of the ball.
I like James. He can do a little of everything. He started the season really well last year, but the trade hurt his production. I'd rather have someone that shot a little better and protected the ball a little better, but he's not a bad PG. A 2-3 year deal for $3-5.5 mil would be acceptable IMO. Plus it would be fun yelling "I'm Mike James, biyatch!" every time he makes a play.
I'm not the first to post it, but it pops in my head everytime I see this guy's name: WHO???? MIKE JAAAAMMMEEEESSS!
I'm Mike James, b****! He's doing some kids camp here in Pittsburgh. Maybe I'll rent a kid and see if I can get some insider info.
I can't say I've really seen James being battle-tested, but it seems to me that we don't need 4 back-up PGs, and no starters. I'm pretty sure this is illegal in the United States.
i'll take Jones, Hunter or a pack of Nachos over Lue. also when Lue scores, is the Crowd at toyato Center gonna gooo LUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE?
