You watched the playoffs, right? Eddie Jones wouldn't have made a lick of difference against Phoenix. And I doubt he would against the San Antonios and Dallases either.
If Memphis traded Williams and Posey for Eddie Jones, Pat Riley would tongue-kiss Jerry West. If we did the deal, the biggest positive I'd see is that we'd have a $14 million bargaining chip for a team who wants cap relief, along with a guy who'll be getting paid 30 million dollars to provide "positive veteran leadership" and hit a few three-pointers.

come on. you're going to pull out a miniscule difference in career FG%? that average is weighted down by a couple of seasons early in his career. take those out, and his average would be .433. that's not a world of difference from what he shot last year: .428. (also, his highest ppg average was 20. he shot a lesser fg% that year than he did last year.) and he was pretty much right at his career avg of 3pt%. he would definitely be an upgrade over Posey, Cardinal, Shane, and Dahntay.

Don't post a link and tell me to look at the stats if you're just going to make excuse after excuse for them.
Make a poll on General, if you want to discuss Jones' past season any further. Maybe someone else will dance with you on the Jerry-West-can-do-no-wrong, navy-and-smoke-blue rainbow, but I'm really, really not in the mood.
