Quis for Mike James in a SNT- RGM RUMOR
Philadelphia Inquirer - A recent rumor has Mik James going to Dallas in a package for guard Marquis Daniels, but GM Bryan Colangelo wouldn't comment when reached Friday afternoon.
The Raptors have little interested in re-signing James, but will look to receive talent in return via a sign-and-trade deal. Take it for what its worth. I could actually see the trade happening. James is a guard that reminds me of Stack. He is a tough competitor and will play a very physical game. Soon we will find out if he can keep up his high level of play from last season. That being said, I have mixed emotions of Mike James, and they lean towards hating the guy. Last edited by DubOverdose; 06-25-2006 at 01:48 PM. |

I wonder if James could work the pick and roll better than Terry and Dirk?
I love James though...he's tough and loves going to the basket. |

I would love for this trade to happen. We'd be getting exactly what we need.

James is a pitbull and gives the mavs some toughness, but I wonder if this means that they might let Terry walk. James will be a lower priced version of Terry.
I'd hate to see Marquis Daniels leave, although that may be the only way for him to return to the level he was at in his rookie year. He could've really helped the team during the playoffs, but Avery just didn't like him. He'll blow up next year if he's on another team. |

i've thought the same thing about terry. i think if this was last summer then they would let him walk. but i've read articles that say he and dirk have developed a pretty good friendship this year..so i can't see them rocking dirk's boat too much.

You think this means Terry walks? I know Terry is a fan favorite and brings a lot to this team, but I believe he will be severely overpriced. I'd much rather have Sam-I-am and James than Terry and Quis. The two of them would add a lot of identity to our team and toughness. Stack and James could really get under a lot of player's skin.

I think they resign Terry and make him starting SG. Start James at point and make Harris 6th man. He'd be so explosive off the bench. Let KVH walk and trade Stack and #28 for a higher pick to draft a backup PF to play behind Dirk.

I like the idea. I'm one of the founding builders of the Marquis bandwagon, so it would hurt to see him go. BUT, not as much as him rotting on the bench when Avery has no trust in him. That being said, this would be my option B (option A would be sign Cassell and S&T Terry for Larry Hughes, but we will get into that later). So having James would give us the same 3pt. shooting with a much better defender and he put up great numbers this year with Toranto. If we only have to give up a guy that will probably never come in his own on our team for a starting PG, then I'm down.

If the money gets too crazy for Terry - yeah, he walks...but I can't see him getting a near-max deal. But hey...NBA owners have surprised me before!

Yeah, I really think Terry will stay unless the money gets to be way too much. I doubt he'll get offered a whole lot more from other teams than Dallas is willing to pay, Dallas thinks very highly of him and I expect him to stay for a decent price.

Even though he's 31, he'd be a perfect fit here. Terry is good as an SG, and Devin would be explosive and more comfortable as a 6th man imo.
Cubes needs to jump all over this deal.

And then there are also the rumors about Toronto looking to trade Bosh. I guess they are just dumping salary.

No way Toronto trades Bosh. He, Charlie V, and the #1 pick are the future of their franchise.

Mike James had a great year, but the Raptors were terrible. Minor adjustments. The mavs core is young and athletic. Say goodbye to Van Horn, Armstrong, and Griffin. We need all-around players. Daniels gave the heat all kinds of problems. He can play backup powerforward and the two guard while Dirk sits. PPod is in year three, it is time to see him play.

I think this is trade fodder designed to boost Daniels' trade value...
It only makes sense if Stack is gone as well and James is the 6th man...

James would start at PG, Terry at SG, Harris 6th man and Stack trade bait for a better draft pick.

James is a 31 year old, 6'2" combo guard. No thanks.

Sign him for how long? *don't believe it - he prob. will ask for a long contract at nearly the same sum as Terry will, but Terry is younger

Next year-- $3,720,000 player option If he opts out, he wants either more money or more guaranteed years. I'm assuming that a SnT would mean that he would get 2-4 years at a minimum of 4million a year (assuming Toronto is still over the cap??!) Just my two cents. |

He's a very hard nosed player, he'd be a great fit here. A good PG with a Stackhouse like mentality but with less TO's and better 3pt shooting.

And as for his contract right now I don't really care. This is one of those moves to load up for next year - another run to the Finals hopefully.

He's worth what he's currently being paid. If we resign Terry, do this trade, and draft a solid backup PF, we'll be set for another title run.

And let's remember, he already won a ring with Detroit in 04. Not saying he played a big role in it, but the more experience, the better. He knows what its like to be on a team that has a tough mentality that has gotten over the hump.

Being Canadian Torontos my team in the East and im so excited to see them finally able to rebuild after that moron Babcock was so rightfully replaced. I think Colangelo would do it and have a chance at an amazing young core because lets face it, Quis is gonna shine in Toronto when he gets some tick and confidence (plus less pressure for him instead of being on a championship caliber Dallas team). James is old... but I cant deny hes a good player and it only costed up Q? Then why not? Hes not being used here, it almost feels like hes our Darko on the Pistons sometimes, even though he did get a few meaningful minutes when Stack was gone.
So as it goes... I think having James, Tery, AND Harris would be amazing. Obviously Terry would go back to SG but James and Harris would give teams trouble with their different styles. I was weary of James in TOR when we got him though, I mean he just explodes this season? How? If you look at his career i'd be scared of it just being a contract year like someone said. Ah well in short I think we should try and get a PF before getting any more guards especially if Terry resigns. |

I think we have to take this, we give up Quis, a player we were hardly using and couldn't stay healthy for very long, for a tough minded pure point guard that can play good D, hit threes and spread the floor, we gotta do this deal.
