Well clearly he and his GM wasn't smart enough there. The media has been expecting James to leave two years ago. If they weren't absolutely certain that he was going to stay, considering the market interest he would have if he gone to FA, they should have got him locked up earlier. If he should indication he wasn't that interested, then the only thing you can fault him on is bringing too much attention to himself.

But the media and people are completely sucking this up, so who's to blame James for taking a once in a lifetime opportunity to be front page news all over America.
