Re: Fred Jones traded to Portland for Dixon

I'm quite displeased with the trade, unless it has something to do with another bigger trade. If it wasn't, this was done for the sake of moving a player.
Jones didn't get any minutes after he was put on the bench but the guy's a better overall player than Dixon in every aspect except for jump shooting. What this team needs isn't another jump shooter but a slaher and/or a rebounder. Jones can slash and draw fouls, all he needed was confidence.
Juan Dixon is a chucker, a weaker defender, smaller and provides nothing else but points. Jones can at least rebound.
I see no value in this trade, I'm not happy with it and I feel bad for Jones for getting jerked around like this. You give a guy 20 games to prove his worth then bench him. Players take time to get used to a new system, teamates, city etc... He was never given a fair shot and I see as a shame.
If this isn't part of a bigger deal, then I really don't see the point.
