means less work for him and play 2k-ish gm.
we will remember these acts in 4 years.
James Jones is a s**ty negotiator in trades imo. Like I feel the guy just caves into whatever the other team demands.
I’ll give you an example…how the hell did the Suns end up having to trade Camara in addition to Ayton in the 3 way Lillard deal when the Bucks were getting the best player in the deal AND the Bucks didn’t even have to give up their young prospects like Andre Jackson Jr, Chris Livingston, MarJon Beauchamp etc.
Bucks GM smartly avoided caving in and giving up any young player like that while James Jones gave up literally the one young prospect the Suns had with any potential.
And Camara hasn’t been anything worthwhile offensively but even as a rookie he’s been excellent defensively. Blazers fans are hyped af about him and I watched the Blazers/Bucks game tonight and Camara was spectacular in shutting down Giannis, providing great help and switching effortlessly onto Lillard.
Imagine if we had a guy like that on this team getting mins over utter worthless players like KBD, Metu etc.
I’ve said it before but James Jones needs to be fired and replaced with Bob Meyers. Ishbia can afford to make Meyers an offer he can’t refuse to come back and be GM again.
