It is going to be really hard for Jones to turn down a large offer. I am sure he would like to return here, but money talks. Just like Brown. I am just unsure he is going to get that sized contract. If he left, we would feel it. It may be the smart move if we had to move a future first to clear off Timmy's money.


If Jones left, I wonder if we would offer Green for Thybulle? Would I? I don't think so. The team appeared to think Thybulle was the better fit. If you remember they were expecting him to start if Portland didn't match.

Bruce Brown for Timmy and Powell. What else would Dallas need to include? A future first? Not sure I would do it for a first, but have trouble seeing the asset dallas could offer that would be fair to Toronto and Dallas.


Let me add for Green...I think his offense is fine. I think there are some areas for growth there, but I think defense is where he needs to improve. He should be a better defender. I think one of the reasons this team took off is DJJ is a much better defender against these great scorers of the league. Green has his moments. His impact in most of these games is pretty limited though. I would call him an average defender. He has the ability to be a real plus defender. I think his activity and energy hides the fact is he is not really good making things tough on these great scorers.
