James agreed to a deal with China's Shanghai Sharks on Friday, Mike Scotto of Sheridan Hoops reports.

James spent portions of the last three seasons with the Mavericks, playing a career-low 16 games last season. He began the 2014-15 season with the Shanghai Sharks, only to join the Mavericks in February on the strength of a few 10-day deals. James will have the opportunity to rejoin the NBA once the Chinese Basketball Association season concludes in February or March.

James did not receive a qualifying offer from the Mavs, making him an unrestricted free agent, NBA.com reports.

James is the Mavs' token bench player from the last three seasons. He's a good role player who can step in and serve as a no-mistake rotation piece when injuries have cut down the Mavs' frontcourt, but James isn't a regular rotation player, limiting his impact in fantasy.

James finished the year with Dallas despite being waived prior to the start of the season. He played in China after being cut but returned to the Mavericks on a pair of 10-day contracts. He ultimately landed a season-long deal and finished the year on the roster.

James appeared in 16 games averaging 2.8 points, 2.4 rebounds, and 0.9 blocks per game. He remains an end of the rotation insurance policy and has yet to make an impact in the fantasy world during his three-year career.

James scored five points on 2-of-7 shooting Monday. He finished with five rebounds but turned the ball over three times.

James played 23 minutes off the bench with Tyson Chandler and Dirk Nowitzki resting in anticipation of the draft.

Updating a previous note, James will not get the start Monday against Utah, Earl Sneed of Mavs.com reports.

The Star-Telegram reported an incorrect lineup earlier in the evening which listed James as the starting center. Amar'e Stoudemire will, in fact, get the start, and James will come off the bench. Both players figure to see increased roles with a number of regulars resting.

James will get the start Monday against Utah, Dwain Price of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

With the Mavericks resting a number of starters, including Tyson Chandler, James will get the call at center. After playing 12 minutes Sunday, James should see a significant increase in playing time.

James scored four points (1-3 FG, 2-2 FT) and blocked four shots Sunday in a win over the Lakers. He added one rebound in 12 minutes of action.

James came off the bench in place of the resting Amar'e Stoudemire and saw his most minutes since March 2. He could be in line to see a small increase in action Monday with the Mavericks resting both Tyson Chandler and Dirk Nowitzki.

James received his second consecutive DNP-CD Wednesday and has played sparingly in Dallas' last 13 outings.

James played 25 minutes on March 2 in a win over New Orleans but has logged just 21 total minutes in the 13 games since. He will continue to fight for minutes in a loaded Dallas front court that includes Tyson Chandler and Amar'e Stoudemire.

James scored two points Friday in a loss to the Warriors. He played six minutes and collected two rebounds.

James will struggle to find minutes when both Tyson Chandler and Amar'e Stoudemire are active and remains a limited fantasy option.

James came off the bench for two minutes against Portland on Thursday.

James recently signed with the Mavericks for the rest of the season but that doesn't necessarily mean that he'll see extended time on the court as a result. Expect the 30-year-old to be limited off the bench moving forward.

James officially signed with the Mavericks for the rest of the season Tuesday, Earl Sneed of Mavs.com reports.

The Mavs made it clear more than a week ago that James would remain with the team through the rest of the season, but the deal did not become official until Tuesday. James, who started Monday in place of Tyson Chandler, has appeared in five games, averaging 4.4 points and 4.4 rebounds in 17.4 minutes.

James started in place of the injured Tyson Chandler Monday. He failed to score in 25 minutes of action but pulled down six rebounds and blocked two shots.

James is nearing the end of his second 10-day contract and the team will have to determine if he will signed for the remainder of the season.

James will get the start at center Monday against the Pelicans, Earl Sneed of Mavs.com reports.

James played only five minutes in Monday's loss to Brooklyn, but he'll be inserted into the starting five with Tyson Chandler sidelined. As a result, J.J. Barea will shift back to the bench. James, provided he sees significant minutes, could be a decent source of rebounds, but he's not likely to provide much else in terms of counting stats.

James collected 11 rebounds and chipped in seven points Monday. He joined the starting lineup with Tyson Chandler nursing a sore hip.

James played 27 minutes and is currently on his second 10-day contract with Dallas. While the Mavs have suggested he will be signed for the remainder of the season, his fantasy value remains low.

James is starting Wednesday's game at Atlanta, the Dallas Morning News reports.

With Tyson Chandler out with an injured left ankle and hip flexor, James will garner his first start of the season. Since signing with the Mavericks earlier this month, James is averaging 6.5 points (on 50 percent shooting), 2.5 rebounds, and two blocks in 15 minutes across two appearances.

James will be signed for the rest of the season, Dwain Price of the Forth Worth Star-Telegram reports.

Currently working on his second 10-day contract, James has played 30 total minutes over the past three games. He didn't play at all in Friday's win over the Rockets, and he'll likely pile up quite a few more DNP-CDs.

James received his first DNP-CD of the season Friday since rejoining the Mavericks just before the All-Star break.

James was signed to a pair of 10-day contracts to help provide an interior presence when Tyson Chandler was nursing an ankle injury. However with Chandler now playing and Amar'e Stoudemire expected to play Sunday against Charlotte, James' minutes will remain low.

James came off the bench for eight minutes during Friday's game against the Thunder. He finished with four points (1-1 FG, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, and one block.

James is currently on his second 10-day contract while trying to earn a spot on the roster for the rest of the season. Even if that happens, the 30-year-old isn't expected to have a significant role on the Mavericks.

James will sign a second 10-day contract with the Mavericks, the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

James joined the Mavericks before the All-Star break and logged time in the only available contest, recording nine points (3-7 FG, 3-4 FT), three rebounds, and three blocks in 22 minutes. With Tyson Chandler (ankle) expected to return Thursday at Oklahoma City, though, James will seemingly act as insurance in case an aggravation of Chandler's sprained ankle occurs.

James played 22 minutes Wednesday in his second debut with Dallas. He finished with nine points, three rebounds, and three blocks in the win over Utah.

James signed a 10-day contract with the Mavericks after center Tyson Chandler suffered a left ankle injury. He has minimal fantasy value at this time.
