    It would be silly if he wasn't on the market... the question is...is there a market for him?

    I would trade him for an expiring contract and a pick...if possible.

    Or a nice trade exception.....does anyone have that large a trade exception?

    Amazing. How many fresh starts does this guy need since he believes he still has so much in the tank?

    The whole situation is too bad. James came in and nearly single-handedly won us a few games early on but he has just nose-dived since then. It has to be a mental thing with him and I don't see how he believes he should be allowed to continue to play when he is hurting the team.

    PHX and GSW might consider spending the TE on James. But we can't aid those guys. Especially GSW. Of course Miami is gonna want him. I am not seeing anything very intriguing here... Id still like to see the guy get a shot.

    I hope for our sakes that we trade him to a team we don't see again this year because he is going to make it his life's mission to give us a L the next time we play. Why the hell would we want to make a trade that guaranteed us one more L over just benching him the rest of the year?

    If Morey is able to find a home for him I will really really bow before the Great One. This would be his most difficult move yet.

    Gilbert Arenas made it his mission to score 50 against the Blazers. We all know how that ended.

    Maybe he wouldn't be on the market if he could hit a jumper once in awhile.
