Don't care if you don't care, for me this is like a big free agent signing, that's why I'm making this thread
Mark Jones and Doug Christie together? Big day for me as a Kings fan, best PBP duo in the league.

Seems like a downgrade. Going from the national sports network to local.

Very cool that they got someone that big name but in all fairness the sound of me pooping this morning on loop for two and a half hours would provide better commentary than Grant Napear

Mark Jones is a dumpster fire long before 2020. Carlton on crack. Why is this on the General Board?

No he's not, he's a quality PBP guy. Engaging voice, interacts with the color guy occasionally but doesnt go off on tangets, right level of excitement during big moments in games. That's what you want for that role.
I'm convinced this board just hates every single NBA announcer. Who do you actually like other than JVG? Is there anyone else?

RGM despises announcers. Every post I've seen about any announcer is mostly just people saying how trash they are.

Great signing. Not sure how you can say something bad about the dude. He is a bonafide pro.

I kind of like Mark Jones. He sometimes tries a little too hard and ends up sounding more dorky than cool.
But I think he's solid overall and generally an enjoyable listen. In the NY market we have Mike Breen and Ian Eagle so we're a little spoiled, but I wouldn't mind a bit having Mark Jones as my home team announcer.

Then he'll be a perfect fit with Doug Christie.

RGMers despise everyone and everything.

Really looking forward to watching Kings games with a pro PBP commentator instead of "All Lives Matter" Napier constantly cutting off Christie to push his annoying catchphrase.
