    I can't say that I like Mike James, especially the way he comes off in this article. Of course this was translated to Chinese and then back to English again, so it's hard to tell.

    I do recognize that we need help at PG and he was probably the best option available. I just hope he uses his arrogance in a way that helps this team (use it to help him play better basketball) and not hurt the team (use it to disrupt chemistry and b**** about everything).

    I thought there was a trade to bring back MJ. MJ had nothing to dictate where he wanted to play 2 months ago. The trade has been in the works since this Feb.

    I believe James had the option to waive the trade kicker thus making the trade much easier to facilitate.

    He didn't waive the trade kicker. He got his extra $800K.

    I have no faith in Mike James. If he plays good and is a big part of this team the whole year I will be surprised.

    the title is misleading. he didn't return because of rick adelman, though he clearly has respect for him. he'd be a rocket even if dadakota was coaching.

    Remember Mike James, when you get drunk, you get handsy. Anyone who watches Scrubs will get that! :p

    He has only been in the NBA for 5-6 years though. He has a little less wear and tear than most. It's also nice that if he only has 2-3 good years left in him his contract is up in 3. Then we can dump him like a cheap prostitute just how he likes it :cool:

    Mike James is an egotistical nutjob, but Ron Artest is on a whole different level. At least MJ isn't out attacking people.

    It says that Adelman contacted MJ after the season ended but MJ said in an interview not too long ago after the trade went down that he hasn't spoken to Adelman yet.
