what if Jones turns out to be Raja 2.0
Unrestricted free agent Jumaine Jones has signed:
Everyone will "live" on the wing in peace in Phoenix leaving Amare to battle it out down low as the rotations begin on the perimeter
Jones, a first round (27th) pick of the Atlanta Hawks in 1999 (class of Brand / Francis / Baron / Odom / Wally / Marion / Artest and Kirilenko) is coming off a career year in Charlotte with the injury "snakebitten" Bobcats where he saw plenty of action. He played in 76 games, started 46 of them which gave him a 27.5 min/game average mostly thanks to Gerald Wallace injuries and Kareem Rush finding the "doghouse"
It should be interesting to see if Jones (who at 6'8 plays much smaller) can learn how to mix it up a la Marion, we know he can finish and from 3pt land... well he shot 34% last year (making 1.5 of every 4.4 attempts) but the Suns will need him to claim more boards and his jumper would need to improve

While everyone is saying: "he ain't no slouch" there remain only a few more free agents out there to pick up (among notables; Bonzi, Melvin Ely, Reggie Evans)
In the meantime, let's see if Jumaine can still run
