    That sucks. I really liked James Jones and can't blame him for leaving to make a bunch of money. If we could have kept him it would have been for pennies compared to what he was offered.

    Wow... three months, that's even worse than Martell. Feel sorry for James as I really think his presence here really helped develop our guys. But it was still a good move to not sign him to even a two-, three-year contract.

    I really enjoyed James last season, but for being under 30, he had some injury and durability issues. He was also way to streaky. I would love to bring back Ime though!

    I loved james jones last year. but as soon as he left us for more money, i thought "youll be sorry......". wish the best for him and his health but man, i think its a mistake to leave a team like this.

    I think it was a mutual divorce. We had Marty, Trav, and its always easy to pick up a wing through the draft. There was just no PT

    I really loved what he gave us when he was healthy, he just wasn't healthy nearly as much as I would have liked. Good luck James, I hope you get better soon.
