Dont forget, with Oden's coming back, LMA would play less center and more at PF, which means Outlaw's PT would need to be divided about equally between the 2 forward positions.
I agree with your general assessment of the impending playing time crunch.
I've been thinking and saying for a while now I didn't think portland could keep all three of outlaw, webster, and jones. And now, with Miles possibly retiring, Portland can reach maximum contract level cap space by 'dumping' either webster or jones.
I do believe Jones would be the better player for the blazers to keep, but as others have said, his knee issues and the difference between his age and martell's evens things out quite a bit.
Jones could make the decision easier if he demands too much money though.
