I think most of you are underestimating the power of fame for people like James. Firstly, Gilbert absolutely tore him apart when he bolted. Deservedly so, as unprofessional as it was, but you think that he forgot about it? This is among the most arrogant athletes on the planet. While I think he may be open to it, I still maintain this guy is all about self image and being around a certain crowd, and I still think he'll end up on one of the NY area teams. Akron doesn't offer him the same opportunity to spend his loot - or further his faux businessman image.
