And if mike james, one of the best point guards in Europe, was coming back to play in the NBA? It is in any case the latest rumor from Marc Steinwhich indicates that the 32-year-old would be targeted by the Sunslooking for profiles capable of strengthening their bank at a lower cost.
A track that makes sense because, beyond having already evolved phoenix in 2017/18 (for 10.4 points and 3.8 average assists over 32 games), the reigning French champion is close to Kevin Durant. The two men are used to seeing each other when their schedules allow it, with “KD” who, for example, has not hesitated over the past two seasons to travel to monaco to support his friend in Euroleague or Betclic Elite.
Still, if Mike James agrees to return to the NBA, despite a contract that runs until 2024 with the Roca Team and his stated desire to continue his career there, it will certainly be at least salary, since the Suns are in the red financially. Especially since he has not set foot in the United States since joining the Nets (by … Kevin Durant), in 2020/21.
Note that Marc Stein also cites Yuta Watanabe (5.6 points, 2.4 rebounds) as a potential target for Phoenix this summer.
