The Blazers may not re-sign free agent James Jones, because his agent is seeking a contract in the range of 5 years and $25 million.
The Blazers just locked up sharp-shooting guard Rudy Fernandez, so there isn't much incentive to invest $25 million in a role player with a sore left knee (Jones missed 34 games with the injury last season, but claims he is healthy now). Furthermore, GM Kevin Pritchard said he really likes the current roster, and any free agent would have to "knock [the Blazers] socks off" to get signed.
