I read somewhere that if he doesnt play by january that the team gets some sort of break financially maybe a medical retirement i dont know i forget what it was, but it was something.

Now last night, the knicks were killing memphis.. and I read Mike D's lips to Randolph: "I would take you out, but i got no bigs"... Jerome James is on the bench dressed and healthy.. I think its just known we will not play him and hes going to be gone by january...

No wonder Ewing Jr is still hanging around the team.. Walsh had a plan after all.... "Stick around till january kid, i got you"

Yeah, it is kind of odd that Ewing Jr is going to the Knick games after being cut. I think it's a given that he gets a spot on the team. I don't know if it's to replace Jerome, but something has got to give. I guess time will tell.

Doesn't Jerome have to approve to such a thing? And hasn't he already said he will not retire?

I do hope he is either bought out or retires because I can't stand him. He is such a disgrace for this team...

He is a disgrace in so many ways like any man who takes somebody else space in life. And he never deserves it.
But hay; he is smart enough to use stupid NBA for his advantage.
This is player’s league; so we should eat this kind of crap forever.

1+1 = 3?

No way we can let Jerome go. We NEED A CENTER!!!!!!!!

And he qualifies how? Because of his size and shape? Saying he is a center implies he is a basketball player. I say to you, NO, he is not a center.

[/soap box]

You're crazy. What If Zach gets hurt. Then who is going to play center????? I didn't think you had an answer to that one. Injuries are inevitable and we need him on our bench. Anyone that does not agree with me will be eating their words

That is a valid question. But you cant seriously think that Jerome James is the answer. Weve had years now to see what he has to offer, and I dont think that the 8 minutes, 2 points, 3 rebounds and 6 fouls that he would contribute in regular minutes will help us

I think bipp is joking

Why would I joke about this???? Obviously you are one that doesn't understand the importance of Jerome either. I seem to be the only person left on this site with common sense. We neeeeeeeeeeeed a center. Unleash Jerome!!!!!

well as much as we need him, we don't want to rush him back from his quad injury from training camp. we don't want him turning into our version of greg oden

Anyone who says we need Jerome James is either kidding or simply out of their minds. We haven't needed him since he arrived. He just took advantage of stupid Isiah and his timely playing on the playoffs for the Sonics. He just showed he could play and jumped on the first offer avaliable and unfortunately for us it was Isiah's. Ahh, I can't wait for him to be out of the Knicks.

And if this comments are real, then lets see: we need a shot-blocker. James could help if he actually cared for playing basketball, but he only cares for being the first in line at McDonalds, so don't bother worrying. And as for the center, we need one that can play in D'Antoni's system. Its obvious he can't.

This is not in the CBA. Where are you getting this misleading information from?
