I'll admit, giving James Jones away for cash is beyond stupid.
has this been documented as fact yet?

"A league source indicated that the Blazers also were trying to acquire Phoenix guard James Jones along with the Suns’ 24th pick in the first round for a second-round pick and cash."
All the reports so far have been coming from Oregon media. Perhaps they acquired him without Suns knowledge? I'm sure Kerr will be notified of the trade shortlyhas this been documented as fact yet?
In a separate deal it doesn't work under the cap since they can't absorb Jones' salary.
However, it does work as the part of the Randolph-deal.
If it comes true, I hope it's made for McRoberts. He would be a perfect fit for the Suns and at least we would acquire some serious talent.
I tend to believe the reports from Oregon that have them not sending any of the picks. Honestly who believes the Blazers would need to include anything for the Suns to accept this? The Suns couldn't even get a 2nd round pick for the 24 even though they say they were trying to get a higher 2nd round pick to draft Strawberry.
i gotta admit, that's the most disconcerting thing about this to me. I think it's fair to chalk it up to on the job training, but that gets back to Sarver not wanting to reward the GM who put this team together, forcing him out, which put novices at the helm, forced into on the job training TWICE in the middle of a title run era.

I am way more confident with Tucker getting playing time then James Jones.
James Jones was shooting 26% halfway through the season, D'Antoni still kept playing him.
And nothing from the Phx media? Huh? Something is not right.
someone should email coro and try to get the inside scoop
There is way too much rhetoric, hyperbole and BS on this board these days....
What I understand is that they sold the 24th pick for 3 mil.
They traded James Jones to Portland for the TE Portland received from the trade with NY.
I am not sure if that is right, but that makes sense as far as Portland getting Jones and giving nothing for him.
Now we wait to see who the suns sign as free agents.
Which means he shot how well once the ball was changed back?
Or now we can use that trade exception to not send as much salary to Minnesota for KG.
Actually, no. Do I need to go and cull all of the examples over the past few days? I won't, but you can just to make sure either way.Isn't that statement a rhetorical hyperbole itself?
