Eric Williams has made it no secret that he desperately wants the Raptors to send him elsewhere while Mike James is hoping the team decides not to trade him.

"Definitely (I want to stay)," James said on Tuesday night. "It's hard when you get traded in the middle of a season, you've got to learn a new system, you have to figure out new faces ... that's not an easy thing to do. I wouldn't mind spending the rest of the season here."

Raptors management faces a tough decision concerning James. If they trade him, they get something in return, but he could leave via free agency for nothing this summer.
