So, I'm reading on the ex NY-Times forum that Hahn told Brandon Tierney that the Knicks are trying to receieve a medical exception for James and that he will not be at training camp.

Anyone else read or hear about this?

This is the reason why I don't get excited over highlight reels of high school players and Europeans that I've never seen play.
I just hope that people will like me

Big LOL!

That said, the top video is misleading only because Jerome is very lazy. I've always thought he had the physical ability to be a very good player in this league.

I believe that JJ is worth every penny. After all at the time we signed him "we needed a center"

anyone remember the game JJ started where he score like 12 points in 4 minutes and had to be helped off the court he was so winded?

Classic!

That Jerome James highlight reel clip is HILARIOUS !!! Who made it???? I wonder if they intended it to be ironic or they actually wanted to make the case that he's a force

Yeah, that was against the Nuggets. I was there. I don't think Jerome even played in the second half, and the Knicks STILL got blown out, BAD!

I was just thinking about this. We can't cut Jerome. curry is out of shape and it's very possible that we will "need a center" this year. I say give him a 5 year extension

Yeah, that was awesome, and through all my vidcapping that was one show I should have saved and made into a mix.

Yeah, I know, I suck.

As to Jerome - he expires in 2010 - so - according to most - he's no problem.

Personally I would buy him out - if you want a culture change you get rid of Jerome James who doesn't take anything seriously - and any young kid that has money in his pocket seems more than willing to go the joker route than the hard working route in the NBA so you must get rid of him.

How to do it? I think the NBA states he has to go a complete year without playing a game. Why I keep thinking it is actually 18 months of inactivity I don't know - maybe it was reduced to 12 months of inactivity with the last CBA?

I still say the funniest thing with Jerome was when we'd start him, play him 30 seconds, then sit him for the rest of the game. What was the conspiracy theory behind it? So David Lee could remain in 6th man contention?

Well, now doing that did what? Backfired on any chance to medically retire him eons ago.

Gotta love this team it always finds a way to bend itself over when it thinks it's being clever!
