i'm sorry but this discussion is going in circles.

ultimately, this is the most important thing to take from this roster change...isiah no longer believes that frye + curry can start together. that's a MAJOR admission.

Do you think that Isiah going to Big Snacks and not Lee a MAJOR admission as well...

yes.

This is typical what you get with one-year mandates of the coach. He'll do anything to try to get some results and easily forget the longer-term needs. You cannot be rebuilding with a one-year mandate, that's completely contradictory, people overlook this constantly but a one-year manger can't be brought to rebuild.

Nobody is asking Isiah to rebuild within one year. He's being asked to show the fruits of the plan he put in place 3 years ago.

Let me explain to you why Isiah is going to James rather than Lee:

Well if James is getting playing time base on salary then Malik Rose should get more playing time.

Also since people consider Frye a center then what is Garnett or Dirk?

If Frye is a center, then Wally Sczerbiak is a Power Forward!

oohah

Good luck Mike D'Antoni, 'cause you ain't never seen nothing like this before!

And what would you or Isles opinion be on it if Larry Brown did it DJ?

At this current moment I don't know what to think about this current move. I think James sucks. But I also think that if James cared at all about basketball he would make a huge impact on this team on defense. I guess like everything I will take a wait and see how it all unfolds before I support or bash the decision.

But if Isiah is looking to move Frye for Ray Allen anyway then I can see why he wouldn't care enough about Fryes mins right now. Or if he is looking to try and shot James for the deadline.

jerome james is a big fat stiff. he's done nothing to earn himself any minutes. yet there he is, starting. meanwhile guys that are busting tail are the worse for the wear. what has jerome done to earn the starting job over frye? over lee? heck, over malik? nothing.

what are we doing? are we trying to build something here or are we just operating on a game to game basis?

By MARC BERMAN
February 4, 2007 -- ORLANDO - Isiah Thomas has made a bold decision and decided to start Jerome James for Channing Frye in a two-center look he plans to go with into the All-Star break.

The experiment began in last night's 94-86 victory over Orlando. Thomas said he wants James' "interior defense." That's likely to supplement Eddy Curry's lack of same.

Thomas also said he wants Frye off the bench to get him away from Curry and make him more of a post player. Frye responded with 18. James had four points, three rebounds


The Karate James and Curry project stay tune.

Interesting. Let's see if it sticks! Why didn't he do this before, if it works?
I'll never trust this' team again.

I don't think it's about earning starting position based on hustle or work...JJ defensive presence set the tone very early in the Orlando game...He effected the way the first half was played from the few minutes he played...I thought every one was dying for a shot blocker in the middle...Ladies and Gentlemen, I present to you, the not so new or improved Jerome James...
