First we rain out a NBA game, now we got a guy begging off the team to go to Europe.

Mike James turned down $300K a month in China and is leaving the NBA to earn less in Greece. Followed his heart, bleeds PAO green.

he was on two way deal
his days were going to expire soon

he didnt show anything
and was waived

if not waived he should receive minimum deal

it was not an option


up to the next one

It was agreed earlier that he will stay till deadline.
Also he agreed that he will be with first team whole time.

It was planned from the start.
So it is not that he is smarter now.
He just returned to Panathinaikos in Greece when he made his mark.

So keeping him as a two-way was never an option? Did we basically just waste a two way contract on him for a few minutes?

In PHX and NOP he did not wanted to play GLeague basketball.
And agreed to sign with Pels only to be with first team.
So there was not an option for him to remain on a two way.

He'used' half of his days in PHX.
So there was no other option than let him go.
He was trash.
