Like I said before, Jamison doesn't owe the Mavs or Nellie anything. He should not be coming off the bench and he should demand that he play more minutes.

Huh? Now what´s that a statement? I don´t think a player should have the right to DEMAND to play more minutes. that would be pretty unacceptable and egoistic.
This sport is about TEAMS, about championships. It´s not about personal statistics or trophies. If Jamison wanted to be in a position to demand something from a team, or a coach, he should have become a tennis player or something alike. Basketballl is about team, is about doing what is needed to make the team win. And the responsibility lies on Nellies shoulders. Any "I demand to play more" attitude is unacceptable to me, at least to some degree (there are exceptions, though, and I am not adressing the "Coach, let me in, I can win this game for us" attitude).

On another note if I was making only 1/10 of what Jamison makes per year, not only would I not complain about coming off the bench, I'd glady handwash nellie's car every week and do it with a smile. When you're being paid as much as Jamison, your job is to perform not bitch about petty little things like whether you start or not.

Lol! Can you average over 20 pts 7 rbs a game in the NBA? If you can, go to the nearest open practice. Better yet, go to the Mavs practice. Of course, you'd keep quiet if you were being paid Jamison money coz you don't deserve it. Sorry buddy, there's reason why he's getting the money.
