    Kinda surprised Denver let him go. Von Wafer wold be a good replacement for them.

    Cheap shot artist.

    Von Wafer seems like a perfect fit in Denver.

    Denver probably starts JR Smith next season since they have Ty Lawson now to run the second unit. Terrible signing by the Pacers.

    Dreadful. The Nuggets quickly replaced him with the cheaper and potentially better Aaron Afflallo. There are any number of guys out there that could be scrounged up for the league minimum that do the same sort of stuff as Jones. Ime Udoka, Tarence Kinsey, Gerald Green, Maurice Ager, Morris Almond, Rodney Carney, Royal Ivey, Keith Bogans. Just off the top of my head. All of these guys would cost half as much, or less, and you wouldn’t have to lock yourself in for four years to get him.

    So, in summary, Jones sucks, he’s being paid over twice the going rate, and he’s definitely locking the Pacers down more than he should be, which is zero.
