The agent for Seattle Supersonics center Jerome James says that if he feels that his client is not part of the team's future, he will likely opt-out of his contract this summer.

"It's way too early for us to make that determination," (Marc)Fleisher said. "It depends on how well he plays, how much opportunity he is given to play, what other potential suitors are out there, do they have cap space where he might be able to fit if he is unhappy where he is?

"I think right now his preference would be to stay (in Seattle) and play. But obviously if he gets the sense that he is not in their future plans, then he would want to look elsewhere."
