Based on what ive seen in the pre-season (and ive wathced every televised game) Jerome James has no business on this team. I never liked the signing at 6 million a year and now he will be buried behind Curry, AD, Frye, and Butler...all 4 are so much better its not even worth discussing...just look at the way James runs...yes i understand at the time he was the only center available and yes maybe, he can come in and give his 6 fouls away, still...otherwise, play the kids..one thing i can gaurantee you is that we are going absolutely nowhere with Jerome James...
What happened to Travis Knight? What a waste!

Both Curry and James look out of shape. He'll be OK off the bench for 10 minutes or so.

you can see Curry's athletism despite the extra weight. whereas JJ looks slow and ineffective

No doubt you see the excitement about Curry...so much upside...James is 30 and as a 7 footer in the NBA he would've made it by now

here's the thing. If James was signed to a minimum vet contract, no one would be complaining.... he's just a backup, and a solid one at that. So no problems.

James is a slow learner, he will be fine. He has to ge inshape and he will.

Hey don't get too crazy, just remember we're in the East and there are some really tough Bigs in the East now. We're gonna need huge guys like james as the season moves on. Don't take any of this preseason stuff to hard. James and Curry are eventually going to get into top shape.

How'd you like Curry tonight against the Sixers? He was a BEAST inside.

yeah Curry played great! if thats the Curry we see night in night out for 30+mins we're going to see some winning basketball for sure! dominating in the paint, rebounding, playing D and blocking shots!

Are you familiar with the concept of denial? ;-)
