http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/sports/4040066.html July 11, 2006, 6:39PM James rejects Rockets' free-agent bid By JONATHAN FEIGEN Copyright 2006 Houston Chronicle Guard Mike James, who went from traded before last season began to the Rockets ' top free-agent priority when it ended, spurned them back Tuesday and agreed to a four-year deal with the Minnesota Timberwolves. James, who also had discussions with the Dallas Mavericks, said he would not sign with the Rockets because they would not give him an option to opt out of his contract after three seasons and would not allow a "trade kicker " in the pact. In a "trade kicker," a player receives a bonus of 15 percent of his contract if dealt. Each team pursuing James was willing to offer its full mid-level exception , expected to begin at about $5 million and be worth about $24 million over four years. "I had to have two things; only one team gave them to me," James said. "Everyone gave me the same amount of money. I specifically asked for a player option on my third year and a trade kicker, and (the Rockets) said no. I had to have those two things. After what they put me through, I couldn't sign with them without those things." Players can't actually begin signing with teams until Wednesday, but James said his decision was final. "End of game. I'm done," he said. "I want to get back to just me, get all the nonsense out of the way. This ain't fun. I'm not for sale. I've been telling people that from the beginning all I want to be is a basketball player. I'm still not appreciated. I'm still young at this game. I still have a lot to prove. The thing I have to prove is you can win a championship with Mike James. "Carroll Dawson (the Rockets' general manager) said to me a story about how bad he wanted to get me. When I left Detroit (in 2004), he really wanted me, really wanted me. This trade fell through, that trade fell through, then he finally got me (from the Bucks in exchange for Reece Gaines and a second-round pick). The only question I had was, 'Then why did you trade me?' "I wasn't a bad kid. I'm a family man, first one in the gym, last to leave . That was the question I had. They can trade me. Whenever they're ready to get rid of me, they can get rid of me. You're in a rhythm, the kids are in school, and they say, 'Go somewhere else. Pack up and go,' with no repercussions to it. Another school, another place to live, another way to live. You have to go shopping because you were in a hot place and traded to Antarctica. " James has played for six teams and won a championship as a backup with the Pistons. But he was traded twice in less than a year, with the Rockets sending him to Toronto. That made the trade kicker "a necessity," he said. "That was very important to me," James said. "The player option was very important to me. I'm not a full mid-level player now. I understand that game . But can I at least get an option after the third year? You want me to lock into a bad deal. A mid-level is a bad deal. Those were the only two things I asked for." James' career-best scoring average of 20.3 points per game last season was the best for an undrafted player since Moses Malone, a third-round pick in the ABA Draft, averaged 20.3 points for the Washington Bullets in the 1987-88 season. Besides posting a career high in scoring, James also had career bests in assists (5.8 per game) and rebounds (3.3) last season. In 27 games with the Rockets in the 2004-05 season, all but five coming off the bench, he averaged 12.4 points, 2.9 assists and 3.2 rebounds, but he was traded to the Raptors before the start of training camp for guard Rafer Alston. 火箭也給出了4年2400萬的合同,但是對于第3年之後的球員選項以及交易保護條款( Trade Kicker)無法接受(如果在合同期間交易MJ,需多付15%工資作為補償。) 重點翻譯MJ的原話:我只想要兩件東西,一個是第3年之後的球員選項,一個交易保 護條款,所有的球隊都給了我一樣的報價,但是只有一個球隊答應了我這兩個要求。 我只能和他們簽約。 這一切都結束了,這是我的最終選擇,讓所有的流言都停止吧,這並不是件有趣的事 情,我並不是在公開甩賣!從一開始我就告訴所有人,我是@個籃球運動員,我並沒 有被賞識!我仍然很年輕,還有很多東西需要証明,我要証明的是,你可以和Mike James一起拿到總冠軍。 CD給我蝙了個關于他是多麼的想要得到我的故事。2004年蛭我離開活塞的時候,的確 ,他很需要我,盡管這樣那樣的交易都沒有實現,最終我還是來到了Houston.但問題 是為什麼後來又要把我交易了呢Ε 我不是個壞小子,我是個顧家的男人。我第一個來到訓練館,最後一個離開。這就是 問題所在。他們可以交易我。什麼時候他們不想要我了,就可以把我甩掉!你還在你 自己的生活節奏中,孩子們還在學校,然後他們說,去另一個地方,打包,然後馬上 走!什麼表情都沒有。另一個學校,另一個地方,另一種生活方式。你必須馬上去購 物,因為你現在住在一個溫暖地方,但被交易去了南極洲!! 交易保護條款對我很重要,球員選項也對我很重要!我並不是一個中產球員,我很清 楚,但是遊戲規則是這樣,不過至少應該在3年以後給我一個選擇的權利!你們想把 我鎖在這麼一個爛合同裡。中產絕不是個好合同。這就是我想要的兩個東西。 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 220.191.86.128

07/12 09:37, 22F

07/12 09:38, , 23F
而不是MJ認為什麼火箭無情無義之類的問題
07/12 09:38, 23F

07/12 09:39, , 24F
至於說JJ到了太陽和湖人之後都沒上場,所以說火箭是賺了還是
07/12 09:39, 24F

07/12 09:40, , 25F
賠了?更不用說Taylor,要不要去尼克版看看,不爽他的人

07/12 09:45, , 36F
我是認為大家要不要理性一點看交易?不要什麼都是CD的錯?
07/12 09:45, 36F

07/12 09:46, , 37F
是沒錯 但像火箭這兩年這麼拙劣的手法 我到從來沒看過..
07/12 09:46, 37F

07/12 09:46, , 38F
火箭只有中產 能簽得到mj就不錯了 還能簽什麼人?

從選秀和這次交易可以看出 CD很愛真小便宜卻又沒操作實力

不想跟你們吵那麼多。我要說的是MLE簽MJ非常划算,我甚至認為
07/12 10:43, 107F

07/12 10:44, , 108F
給他五年合約都不虧。只是trade kicker的存在變成變數。
07/12 10:44, 108F

07/12 10:45, , 109F
這樣的話如果MJ交出不錯的成績就罷了,如果打不好甚至是受傷
07/12 10:45, 109F

07/12 10:45, , 110F
我們無法處理掉他的合約,請問MM都還在當打之年,但是球隊
07/12 10:45, 110F

07/12 10:46, , 111F
卻被MJ的合約綁住,那該怎麼辦?要知道trade kicker連Yao和

07/12 11:11, , 114F
不過還是蠻可惜的 拋Gay穿SB為的即是衝擊冠軍的即戰力
07/12 11:11, 114F

07/12 11:12, , 115F
現在FA跟火箭後場即戰力也沒有跟MJ一樣穩一樣強的
07/12 11:12, 115F

07/12 11:16, , 116F
感覺就是沒有規劃未來 衝短線又只衝一半

價碼跟進或是不跟都兩難
07/12 11:18, 117F

07/12 11:41, , 118F
我現在都用平常心看火箭的發展了,哈哈~"~
07/12 11:41, 118F

07/12 11:42, , 119F
現在只能執行plan B了,感覺CD把所有的籌碼完全壓在MJ身上了
07/12 11:42, 119F

07/12 11:43, , 120F
現在看來"win now"這句口號真是諷刺
07/12 11:43, 120F

07/12 11:44, , 121F
就把錢拿去補強SG和PF吧!這樣大家都皆大歡喜了
07/12 11:44, 121F

07/12 11:50, , 122F
how about the "plan b" @@"
07/12 11:50, 122F

07/12 11:54, , 123F
MJ是plan A,之前有文章提到火箭對Banks有興趣.....
07/12 11:54, 123F

07/12 11:55, , 124F
不然改搶銀行吧
07/12 11:55, 124F

07/12 12:11, , 125F
並不是有TK就交易不掉喔..TK算是一種"保險"吧,MJ可能受不了
07/12 12:11, 125F

07/12 12:13, , 126F
球員生涯不斷的被交易,所以希望球隊肯給他長遠的保証..
07/12 12:13, 126F

07/12 12:16, , 127F
畢竟如果他真的爛掉,沒有tk你也交易不掉他..
07/12 12:16, 127F

07/12 13:34, , 128F
我不覺得MJ有講錯,火箭這兩年的交易動作很多都很殘忍
07/12 13:34, 128F

07/12 13:35, , 129F
最後當成垃圾一般棄如敝屣,令人很不舒服
07/12 13:35, 129F

07/12 13:36, , 130F
雖說NBA本是商業行為,但火箭的決絕是最傷害人的地方
07/12 13:36, 130F

07/12 15:14, , 131F
MJ提TK是針對火箭嗎?君不見他也對小牛提出一樣的東西嗎?
07/12 15:14, 131F

07/12 15:57, , 132F
因為灰狼比火箭和小牛更需要他 火箭小牛都有人可打先發PG
07/12 15:57, 132F

07/12 15:58, , 133F
我個人覺得找Rush或J.Jones都比簽他有價值 便宜又大碗
07/12 15:58, 133F

07/12 17:33, , 134F
Rush就免了吧...
