Signed a one-year, $39,608 contract with the Nets in May of 2021. 
Joins free-agent pool
James will become an unrestricted free agent Sunday after the Nets declined to extend him a qualifying offer, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
James was playing in Russia last season before he joined the Nets last April on a one-year deal. Brooklyn likely wasn't counting on James to become a regular member of the rotation, but he was needed to play meaningful minutes at times late in the regular season and during the postseason while James Harden and Kyrie Irving both missed time with injuries. All told, James made 22 appearances for Brooklyn, averaging 6.0 points, 3.0 assists, 2.2 rebounds and 0.7 three-pointers in 15.4 minutes per contest. He was ultimately cut out of the rotation in Brooklyn's season-ending loss to the eventual champion Bucks in the Eastern Conference Semifinals, perhaps foreshadowing that the Nets weren't keen on bringing the 30-year-old back for 2021-22.
