Wait I thought the popular way to bash Jones for the CP trade it was a slam dunk move and all orchestrated by CP?Sunsdeuce wrote:Mulhollanddrive wrote:Jones had 1 great off season.
Coach - Williams
Trade - Paul
FA - Crowder, Payne, Saric
Draft - Johnson
But 1 out of 5 is a low strike rate
Coach - Williams - Monty was never considered an elite coach. But he was the best they could get
Trade - Paul - Chris Paul had no market at the time. His contract was deemed unreadable. OKC was just happy they found a team to take him.
FA - Crowder, Payne, Saric. They all had one good year and struck lightning for a year
Draft - Johnson This was a Jeff Bewers pick. Bewers had scouted him for years. Bewera was co-GM at the time. Somehow Jones gets credit for that pick
CP had regained trade value by having a good and healthy season in OKC.. but there definitely was risk involved to make that trade.
There's plenty of legit **** to bash Jones about, might as well give him credit for the CP move which obviously worked out really well.
Again lots and lots of reasons to bash Jones and I could care less if he was fired tomorrow but should also be noted he took over at a super low point in the franchises history and since then we're in one of the winningest runs in franchise history.
