1. He can not shoot.
2. He can pass, BUT he commits more turnovers than assists,
3. He shows zero enthusiasm when the mavs make a big shot or play.(No team Support unless he is currently in the game)
4. He bitches after a win,
5. Jamison has been a starter all of his life, so there should be no talk of who has it worse.
6. Jamison has not played in the playoffs, BUT he has been in the NCAA tournament which has it's own pressures.
7. Jamison was the #1 man on his past team, and Walker was the #2.
8. Jamison doesn't bitch about minutes.
9. Fortson doesn't bitch about minutes.
10. Do I need to list the roster?
11. What we have here is a player that thinks of himself first and not his team.
12. His feelings do not need to impede the progress of this team. He is a man, not a child.
13. If he can't get it done in 18 min., Lord help him because I do not see him getting much more playing and acting like a jackass.
14. I do not know who would want this guy this summer, except Isaah who seems to collect bad players like T.Thomas.
15. I do not think that he will hurt Dirk's growth, because Nash will always give him the ball, assuming that he will be here.

You make it sound like he's such an untalented player. Like i said before, he has a lot of talent and just happens to be on a very cold streak right now. And for some reason, he blames it on his minutes (doesn't make any sense). But he's a very good player. Not a born shooter, but passes and rebounds as good as most of the other players on this team. The only reason he should be gotten rid of is because his playing style doesn't click with the rest of the players. His +/- rating is pathetic as grndmstr_c pointed out before. Even though he is skilled, he is a detriment to this team and should be gotten rid of. He'd make a much better fit on a team like Atlanta where he could be the star. It's just not working for him here, though.
