Raptor free agent Mike James, who has drawn interest from the Houston Rockets and Dallas Mavericks since the free agent negotiation period opened Saturday, is to meet with officials from Minnesota in Toronto today but the Toronto Star is reporting that if he is to become a member of the Timberwolves, the Raptors aren't going to facilitate the move in a sign-and-trade transaction.

There is no one on the Minnesota roster who remotely interests the Raptors ? save the unavailable Kevin Garnett, that is ? so James will have to accept a mid-level exception starting salary of just over $5 million.
