    Reports indicate that Mike James is close to agreeing to terms with the Houston Rockets. James lives in Houston and has expressed a desire to return to Texas ... An entourage of Italian sports media is expected to arrive here today to report on Raptors rookie Andrea Bargnani, the first European selected first overall in the NBA draft.

    And it says on realgm 5 years 30 million. Don't click the link. Just go to the website.

    I hope this is true! :) This team really needs a third scorer, not Jho.

    I would love this even though I feel 5 years is to big, but if we do not sign him I feel the offseason will probably end up not that good. We seem to have put all of our eggs in one basket so they better sign him up.

    So RealGM takes the TorontoStar article "mention" and then arbitrarily throws out the terms of 5yr 30M?

    I agree with Deuce. It sounds fishy.

    Basically, most of the GMs in the league have the same problem. Bottom line is, we needed 3 legitimate scorers, and now, if this is true, we have them. Surround them with decent role players who average around 10 per game, and we have the model for a championship.

    Plus, Mike James, Shane Battier, Yao, and Tracy is one hell of a defensive team.
