【ESPN】Mike James不大可能拿到5年3000萬

http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/columns/story?columnist=stein_marc&id=2511802


There was action in the stands as well as on the floor at UNLV's Cox Pavilion
, where Toronto's Mike James -- one of the top three unrestricted free agents
 left on the market along with Al Harrington and Bonzi Wells -- was conducting
 face-to-face negotiations with the three teams chasing him: Houston, Dallas
 and Minnesota.


After a meeting with Rockets officials, James could be seen in a far corner
 of the gym, engaged in an animated discussion with Mavericks owner (and
fellow Pittsburgh native) Mark Cuban.


"We're a lot alike," Cuban said with a smile, declining to reveal any more
 about the conversation.


James eventually made his way to the opposite baseline for a meeting to set
 up dinner with Timberwolves vice president of basketball operations Kevin
 McHale.


"That's really the three right now," James said of the Rockets, Mavs and
Wolves. "Those are the three teams that have shown the most interest in me
. But everything, it's basically just talk right now."


James, 31, is seeking a five-year deal after a breakout season for the Raptors
 in which he averaged 20.3 points and 5.8 assists. The Mavs and Rockets are
 offering three-year deals starting at the $5 million mid-level exception
. Minnesota, which also has its exception available, has been trying to land
 James via sign-and-trade but the Wolves, according to NBA front-office sources
, haven't been able to tempt the Raptors with a package featuring swingman
 Trenton Hassell.


The Rockets, meanwhile, are trying to bring James back to Houston after dealing
 him to the Raptors for Rafer Alston last October on the first day of training
 camp.


Asked if he feels redeemed by Houston's interest now, which included Rockets
 coach Jeff Van Gundy on the doorstep of his Houston home at the first permissible
 minute of free agency, James said: "I understand people have to make business
 decisions. [But] I think they realize now that you really don't know what
 you have sometimes until it's gone. I think the Rockets have a better understanding
 of me as a person, and I think Jeff has a better understanding of me as
a player and a person."


James is staying in Las Vegas through the weekend to continue talks with
his suitors and insists that none of the three teams has emerged as a favorite
. But he admits that he's getting antsy.


"I'm just ready to get this over with and get with my new team," he said.


MJ和CD，Cuban和森林狼的McHale都談了。
火箭和小牛只願意給3年中產，森林狼想用Hassell和猛龍先簽後換，Hassell年薪才
450萬，而且猛龍不對Hassell不感興趣。
