The Brooklyn Nets have signed forward Damion James to a 10-day contract, GM Billy King announced today.

What do we make of this? I hope this is just because crash is out and we need some lock down defense when Bogans isn't playing

Yup, it may also be a sign that Wallace is out for a few more games and not just day-to-day after the Pacers game. He was a very good rebounder at the 3 position for us but couldn't shoot. We don't need that from him anymore anyway so decent move for the short-term. If he can learn to cut to the basket like Wallace (effectively), then he could fill up our last spot.

I always liked James. Hopefully he can stay healthy.

I agree. I don't see this as more than a 10-day contract plain and simple.

I hope he worked on his jumpshot.

^ ^ Me too dude. I remember Avery used to start him when we didn't have Wallace and it was just face palm worthy

Honestly the rare rare days when he was healthy he was good for us. I LOVE this signing if he can stay healthy. He is so much better than Stackhouse/Bogans if he can be healthy.

I hope he worked on his jumpshot.

His rebounding and defense were always top notch for his position. His biggest concern was health and the jumper. Ridiculously athletic.

Finally I agree with you

I like James

[D2theJ]

If he's anything like he was before we cut him then he should never see a minute. I'd rather let Marshon get more minutes and have Johnson at SF. I'd rather Toko get minutes over James.

Good move. Familiar with the organization and good depth are the F position while crash is out.

I wouldn't mind toko playing over him but I think this is just a precautionary move.

1 of my favorite nets (especially in 2k) b4. brings decent d and hustle. hope hes improved on his jumper. has the tools to be a crash-lite. hopefully he can find his place on the team and crash can mentor him.

Damian James...costing nothing,,,needs NBA development,,,he has not been
in the NBA long enough to show what he could do,,,he was a very good
college player, a go to guy,,,,and he had a jumper in college.
I love for Nets to keep him if he is healthy.
