Former Piston Mike James–Lindsey Hunter’s fellow pitbull on the ‘04 championship squad–has finally busted out of his journeyman shell this season with the Raptors. CBS.Sportsline’s Tony Mejia breaks down James’ meager past and his money future. Not only is James up for free-agency after this season, but he’ll have virtually no competition for the crazy-money during what is generally considered to be a mediocre year for free-agent talent. (Anyone else see a 5 years/$45 million offer coming from the Knicks?)

Bummer we weren’t able to hang on to him. Anyone remember what we got in return for Mike? Or was it a financial cut?
5 years/45 million from the knicks? Now that’s just cruel. Plus they have two PGs already. I make it 50 million…
James was a financial cut.
