NBA journeyman Mike James could be on the Knicks' radar as a 3rd-string point guard.
James has a long history of injuries in his nine-season NBA career, and he spent most of last season on the Knicks' D-League affiliate in Erie, where he averaged 21.1 points, 2.1 threes, 3.7 rebounds, 4.6 assists and 1.1 steals. He won't have fantasy value even with Derrick Rose recovering from knee surgery.

Bulls signed G Mike James to a 10-day contract.
An expected move, James will act as insurance with Derrick Rose (groin) a bit hobbled at the moment. It's possible that the veteran could stick for the remainder of the season.

The Bulls are "set to announce" the signing of Mike James.
James will be back with the Bulls with Derrick Rose (groin) very iffy for Wednesday's game against Miami. He'll serve as insurance policy and could see immediate action on Wednesday assuming he's active if Rose is forced to sit.

Mike James appears to have been signed by the Bulls based on a series of tweet from he and beat writer K.C. Johnson, presumably to another 10-day contact.
Johnson confirmed that it wasn't a great sign for Derrick Rose's status for Wednesday's game against the Heat, and called it "injury insurance." If the Bulls decide to pull the plug on Rose, it wouldn't be the greatest sign for Luol Deng (wrist), either.

Mike James' 10-day contract expired last Thursday.
The Bulls chose not to bring James back on another 10-day over the All-Star break. It confirms that they are fully confident in the health of Derrick Rose (back).

Mike James played well off Chicago's bench on Saturday, scoring 16 points with three rebounds and seven assists in 23 minutes.
James' play will be irrelevant once Derrick Rose returns, but owners in deep leagues should file this away in case Rose goes down again. Neither C.J. Watson nor John Lucas could stop Deron Williams -- James couldn't either, but he at least played him tougher.

The Bulls are planning to re-sign Mike James to a 10-day contract.
With Derrick Rose's back ailing, James will return to the Bulls as depth at the end of the bench. It will be the second time this season Chicago brought in the veteran.

Bulls released G Mike James on Saturday.
That leaves the roster at 13 players and the Bulls are expected to sign a big man. Leon Powe and Joel Przybilla are both possibilities, as forward Luol Deng could be sidelined with a wrist injury.
