    MJ confirmed that he will be meeting with the Puppies, Ponies and the Rockets tomorrow. The Pup's have KG. The Ponies have the Nazi and a great supporting cast. The Rockets have Yao and TMAC. Houston Deserves something to cheer about.

    I renamed the teams. MJ did not.

    2000's MJATCT acronym doesn't really mean anything, unless it means that he agreed to contract terms, which wouldnt be the case because ESPN and RealGM would be all over it by now. It's more likely James was at Toyota Center today, but that's no reason to get our hopes up. For all we know, he could be at American Airlines Centre tomorrow and then in Minnesota on Friday.

    All I know is that if James doesnt end up signing here, he played the Rox as fools with all the FA names slipping out of sight. Right now, it appears to be James or bust. I sure hope it isn't the latter.

    Umm, not to rain on your parade, but Mavericks are cattle. Mustangs are ponies. ;)

    Randy McIlvoy of Channel 2 news said that he talked to Mike James earlier this week and James said he would accept a 3 year deal but would like an option for another year.

    Which is basically the same as a 4 year deal if its a player option.

    dallas just traded daniels for croshere. There might be a deal already in place for mike to dallas. if we can't sign him, we better either TE + second for devin brown or fred jones.

    the marquis daniels trade doesn't have me feeling real good about getting mike james. hopefullly it's just a salary dump and not a way of clearing more playing time for mike. i really hope he was genuine with the houston deserves something to cheer about comment. if we can't get him and particularly if he goes to dallas this offseason was a complete screw up. i like the battier trade only on condition that we get mike james. if we get him i'll be extremely happy going into october.

    I like IC2000 but he lost almost all his cool points with the Reg Bush debacle because he allowed his emotions to get in the way. So I will take his MJATCT (Mike Jame Agree to Continue Talks) with a table spoon of salt.

    :)

    The only reliable inside man we have now is Fox 26's MBman.

    Hes probably just using the mavs to get houston to offer him more years, which is great, since once we sign him all the good FAs will be gone.

    Sorry. But it can go either way...

    I think he may just be trying to get the most he can from anyone. Wouldn't you?

    The latest:

    July 6
    Toronto Star (scroll down) (registration required): "Raptors free-agent guard Mike James is scheduled to meet with representatives of the Dallas Mavericks, Houston Rockets and Minnesota Timberwolves in Las Vegas today as he tries to find a new place to ply his trade."

    Ask them. I'm not a Mavericks fan. BTW, thanks for the clarification Sooner423. Mascot trivia is a hoot, is it not? ;)
