    Never mind. I'd definitely consider moving Jones for Fournier straight up. Adding a pick from ORL is gravy

    Found it. 2017 Lakers pick top 5 protected. I don't think Jones has enough value to Fournier AND that pick back, but it's some nice framework to start.

    fournier doesn't play defence and that's why he will be shopped this year. because skiles. Also i expect harris to be shopped by february and harkless.

    No thanks on Fournier. At least not for Jones that is.

    Well that was the Magic fans suggestion.

    Jones is apparently highly sought after by other fan bases.

    he doesn't have and that deal makes no sense for magic fans. They already have too many pfs and they can't afford to take on a guy who will be rfa and they will have to pay big bucks to. Also he and vuc will be horrendous.

    The magic fans who suggested this probably haven't seen jones play much. However hennigan is smart. there is no way he makes such a deal.

    that's true. However with the cap rise his value has dropped because it's one year cheap to evaluate. and one year payig 10+. I said tho that his worth is not a second rounder as some ridiculous people here repeated.

    I'd totally trade Jones for Even Funnier. Jones is fine, but the team can use a good perimeter shooter/playmaker and has plenty of PFs. Besides, I can't see the Rockets paying both DMo and Jones when the year is over.

    I'd probably need smith back to make that deal, unless Harrel is actually some amazing player.

    I think a smith is probably better than Scola at this point. Not sure what he has left.

    Add Dorsey to Jones and take back Mo Harkless with Fournier.

    He has enough left to play 15-20 mpg of NBA average competent basketball. He runs the floor hard, can make the midrange shot, rebound, score around the hoop if need be.

    He also never gets hurt-- the man missed 1 game last season, and 9 total for his entire NBA career.

    if you want to take harkless and fournier probably will have to eat frye. And yes frye is a long bad contract and he won't survive skiles. I don't think even vuc will survive skiles.
    The magic should try to get a defensive pf who can rimprotect a bit. At least defend at a high level. I don't see them being interested in jones.

    I think jones will be of much interest to Indiana and to Toronto and to Washington. most of all indy who needs infusion of youth.

    What real inside info has he ever given ?!

    Rockets to go hard after Durant. - Anyone of us knew that.

    Rockets pick up KPaps option. - Complete no brainer .... would have been news if they did'nt.

    Rockets to pursue LMA. No kidding , the Rockets pursue every big name FA.


    The kicker ?! People who have real inside vines to professional sports franchises aren't giving out that privileged information on sports talk forums for the world to read. I can tell you that with absolute certainty because the first time they did would be the last time they got that information.

    I know this from personal experience having had an inside vine to the Texans top brass for 8 seasons (& now with the Bronco's) and never once betrayed that trust. (Gary is family FWIW).

    Dude isn't an insider , he's a fraud. Having a drink at the table next to Morey doesn't make you an insider.

    Cant believe people buy this garbage.

    On board with Fournier. Reminds me of a younger Delfino. He'd be great off the bench. Still need to upgrade at the 1.
