Yes, another pupil of the great Isiah sidelined for the entire year wit the fat contract. Maybe the knicks can use he injury clause as the Blazers used with Miles

Huh?? I'm sorry. I'm still traumatized from tour of MSG on display holding Jerome James shoe.

Jerome James 3rd straight season missing a whole year pretty much. Ugh.

i didn't even know he was prepared to play. he was pretty much DNP - CD in my book.

He played in 2 games this season according to his profile in NBA.com

I always check the games but I never realized that he played this season...

BTW he got injured in practice

It was worth it to see that Isiah Thomas "Experience the Vision" poster though.

Its sucks for New York but was Jerome James ever that great to begin with?

He had some decent days in Seattle but he never managed to show any of it in NY because he got injured right away. He would have probably not been that great even without injuries, but still...

He started all 80 games he appeared in for the Sonics in the 2005 season (the year before he came to the Knicks) but his numbers were fairly modest as he was playing less than 20 minutes per game despite being a starter. He saw more PT in the Playoffs that year though and put up solid (but hardly spectacular) numbers in increased minutes, leading to the big contract with New York.

This is a big blow to the knicks and there push to make the playoffs.
