    He said that he was disappointed that he was not playing and also said he didn't want to here his career was over. frustrated that brooks is getting much of the playing time says it is bothering him that he is on the bench and he feels that he can help his team win and will sit down with coach and talk about the situation because in the end it is coaches decison

    if he wants a rotation spot he can stop hogging the ball whenever he's on the court and he can also stop chucking it up.

    He needs to own up to his own poor play, first. Adelman was justified in benching him. Nothing wrong with wanting to play, but he should show a little humility (of course I didn't hear anything that he said).

    At the same time, not sure what fans want from him. If he doesn't speak out, he's just milking his contract and happy to be paid. If he does, he's a malcontent.

    Same thing in Minny. Benched in favor of rookie Randy Foye

    Mike James has a chance of beating out Luther or Rafer, but not Brooks, Aaron brings something completely unique to this team and it is needed.

    Blinding speed....

    MJ needs to whine to himself about playing like garbage. I'm sure it would be an interesting conversation. The bottom line is he's just another worthless chump who lost hunger and tanked after signing his career contract. It's guys like him who degrade and disgrace the NBA product.

    Mike James needs to gear up his defense and finds his shots again. I do think James has a little bit more to offer than Head.

    It was just a matter of time. Question is, are any teams willing to take on Mike James and his contract? I hear the Warriors are interested in getting a backup to help Baron Davis. I'd do Mike James for Mickael Pietrus and Austin Croshere, and cut Croshere.

    He's probably right. He could probably go back to Toronto and get some minutes or actually since Randy Foye is injured get some minutes in Minnesota. Think of the worst teams in the NBA and yeah he might get the nod.

    Warriors signed CJ Watson from the D-League and he's doing pretty well. They're also competing with the Rockets for a playoff berth.

    Mike james era has passed on by. This league and the new rules is all about speed,quickness and athleticism which favors these young guy's like,Monte Ellis,chris paul, leandro Barbosa,jordan farmar,nate robinson,deron williams,Devin harris etc. The guard has changed and mik james,steve francis,stephon marbury dudes are older and these young players are leading now leading the way.
