Jerome James wants to play in New York, and hopes to earn some of that money he signed for; as a mid-level exception. He also hopes to better his reputation with Knick fans but with D’Antoni ; James will have better luck finding a P.Y.T then getting some P.T.Â
“I can’t leave New York without at least making my stamp and letting New York know I wasn’t here taking money,” James said. “That’s not me. I’ve always had a passion for basketball and unfortunately, due to injuries, I wasn’t able to show ’em that side of me. I want to show them that side and then I’ll get my — out of here. I’ll leave.”
