Hooped Up

“I’m hoping that either they use me or move me,” Jerome James said. “I love Zeke [Thomas]. Zeke is by far my favorite coach. I had a great relationship with [Nate McMillan]. He’s a great guy, but as far as relating to a guy, Zeke is by far my favorite coach. So I don’t even want to go to him with this right now. “I’m not trying to disrupt the team. I know I’ve been injured. … I know he feels pressure to throw me out there, and I said, ‘No, don’t throw me out there. Don’t change nothing.’ I’m not looking to be moved right now. We can make a playoff push. But the summer is always there. Do it then. If they aren’t going to use me, move me.”
