    He is too small to be a big.

    Green is terrible, but Jones only got a 10-day contract. I think the Green trade was a small salary dump to get us ever further under LT. Neither guy will stick, but I pray I'm wrong.

    For a 10-day contract. More than likely, he barley gets playing time and gets released after his 10 day. Just like how the majority of 10 day contracts work with a few exceptions. Green or Jones don't crack the rotation unless there is a injury.

    Chuck hayes was also a 10-day contract pickup, look how he's turned out..(well, not the best example right now, but it woulda been valid last year and earlier this season).

    Is it possible for us to make a move for Brent Barry after the 10 days is up? Given how we're further under the LT due to cheap @$$ Les now.

    Hopefully, we can convert him like we did to Chuck.

    Excellent news. He will definitely improve our defense, finish strong, and he has a huge BBall IQ. He's also a good locker room guy and brings championship experience. Still, I wonder how much he has left?

    Not many teams can match two potential HOFers with one already inducted. This is the move we needed.

    Man, this is a great move. Bobby Jones is one of the premiere defender in the league. He can be out sixth man off the bench.

    Yeah, we owed the Sonics a future second in return for Carl.

    Exactly my first thoughts too. I guess this shows our age.

    He kind of reminds me of Trevor Ariza of the lakers, both very aggressive defenders. Although i think Ariza is taller

    LOL My first thought was it was a bad joke bringing Bobby Jones from the dead. But after watching a couple of clips on him my first impression is a poor man's Artest. Okay very poor, maybe like homeless poor. But he is definitely physical and that is good. Who goes to the IR to make room for him.

    that highlight reel certainly shows his athleticism and length. and any guy who can put down 20 pts 13 rebs 7 asts 3 stls 1 blk with only 1 TO is interesting. i will be curious to see what his deficiencies are and why the dude has bounced around so much.
