I can't believe are getting this excited over James Jones. I'd be happy to sign the guy to a contract of about 2 million a season but I don't believe he is worth much more than that. I might go 3 million if we got good deals on Smoove and Childress.

There are going to be a bunch of teams that are looking for a shooter, more than likely several that are more attractive than us and have deeper pockets.

Des is the only Mason I could think of in the NBA. I was about to say he solves nothing for us. I think I remembe Roger. He played for the Wizards, right?

Are we talking about the same James Jones I know, that has never even scored 10ppg? And you want him to start??

Exactly.

And once he got here, people would quickly grow to despise "JJ2" ( as Phoenix fans used to call him ), because he's strictly one-dimensional and is a poor defender. Like Chill, he needs to be wide open for his jumper, to be effective, because he sure in the hell isn't creating his own shot.

In essence, he's nothing more than a taller version of Damon Jones.

Maybe the Hawks could spend a couple of hitmen to his house. That would be cheaper.
