Jones was so promising in his second year.

I wish him well. New Orleans has a lot of homeless people, right? :grin:

 

I wish no ill for TJ

Best of luck to him. Glad he got picked up.

Now the Pels can run plenty of 3 on 1's
TJ vs 3 defenders that is . . . .

 

Tjones finna clean up Bourbon St for them Nawlin folk.

 

What happened to Jones? How did he fall off so badly?

 

Well he never had any real NBA talent, he was all athleticism and once that faded, he had nothing to fall back on. Now he's just a guy that can't shoot, can't play defense, has no post game, no face to the basket game, and doesn't have the athleticism to make up for those shortcomings.

 

I really liked his game as a rookie.

 

I kind of feel like Terrence failed us. He went from being good to being benched with injuries and car accidents in between. It wasn't long ago we were talking about having this guy develop and be an asset for several seasons. It's like he disappeared from the face of the Rockets. His stock fell pretty fast.

 

Another Morey asset he held onto too long. A couple years ago Jobes could have been the centerpiece of a competitive package for a really good player; or at least a mid-round pick. But we got nothing for him; just like Paraons, Dragic, Dwight, and potentially DMO. Yay!

 

LOL. Now his athleticism faded. Much like Ryan Mallet? Amirite?

 

Well to be fair we did try and move Dwight, TJones, and DMo (we know how that went). The overall excrement of the season made any trades during mid season a losing proposition as our overall value was low.

 

We could have traded Dwight at the deadline; we chose not to. We should have traded Jones over a year ago; it's been obvious that developing DMo and Jones at the same time wasn't working. Agreed on DMo; guess the back is really bad because his skill set it too good for his market to be this cold.

 

You keep bringing up Ryan Mallett and all I ever said about him was that he is better than Brian Hoyer.....which he is. In fact, I was very much against the Texans trading for Mallett.

Also the point about Jones' athleticism fading is just on obvious statement that any competent person could see with ease.

You aren't very good at this.

 

LMAO wut.

That guy was injured most of that year. Sweet revisionist history.

 

Nothin much to appreciate here, he got a look from the Rox but Rox is a veteran team.

Wish him luck for the future.

 

Who's Terrance Jones?

 

I think Jones will surprise many people either at the Pels or wherever he lands.
He had the weirdest injuries which impacted his development for sure, which included last season.
When you look at most of our team last season, they all underperformed. Jones is no exception.
I would've re-signed him. But he's gone and good luck to him.
(Caveat - I have no knowledge of what his impact was like in the locker room. If he was a cancer, then glad he's gone. But I've not heard any of that.)

 

The homeless population of New Orleans has been notified, and they are on high alert. Goodwill can't keep shin guards in stock.

 

So you think Kev Love thought Scola was a homeless when he was lying on the stomping grounds with his flying hair?
