GWRising, what I'm saying is that this may not be as "black and white" as you're making it out to be.  You do have a very strong track record on bringing us information.  But this may not be about your being right or wrong, or me trusting you or not trusting you, as much as it is about whether you would be privy to the actual truth in this instance.  Am not suggesting that JC's original intentions weren't to have James and Jameer play together but it was evident to all that this wasn't working.  So, for the reasons I raised in the earlier post, maybe JC concludes that JNJ isn't a great fit to play here and by reducing his role, he will either accept it or leave.  No hard feelings either way.  

My point is that he would not be sharing these thoughts with too many outsiders out of respect for JNJ.  Which leaves the distinct possibility that this is how things did go down.  Am not saying that JC wanted him gone.  But the 30+ minutes/game just weren't going to happen for him either unless there was some major improvement quickly.
