Source: Ricky Davis and Mike James on the way out of China

The Jiangsu Dragons’ Ricky Davis and the Zhejiang Golden Bulls’ Mike James are no strangers to each other on the court, having faced off against each other for years in the NBA.  After going against each other for the first time in China on Sunday, they might have played as opponents for the last.

According to a source speaking anonymously to NiuBBall.com, Zhejiang Chouzhou and Jiangsu are both set to cut their high-profile imports by the end of the week.

Zhejiang will release James within the next couple of days and replace him with former  San Antonio Spurs draftee, Marcus Williams.  Williams is scheduled to arrive in China by tomorrow and is probable to suit up on Friday against Shanxi.  The 6-3 guard played 30 games with Chouzhou last year after being waived by the Spurs in October, averaging 19.7 points and 11.2 rebounds.

But, James is not the only NBA veteran to be on the way out after just two weeks into the season.

According to the same source, Jiangsu’s Davis is also on the way out after the team has privately started a search for a replacement import guard.  Davis, averaging a dissapointing 14.9 points a game, has already expressed displeasure with his teammates and with his role on the team.  Davis wasn’t in the starting lineup on Sunday’s win against Chouzhou, playing only 21 minutes and scoring 7 points on 3-9 shooting.
