The Dallas Mavericks have signed veteran swingman Eddie Jones. Jones is a 3 time allstar who finished last season with Miami after having a stint with the Grizzlies.
Does anyone know or remember which allstar games he played in?
Did you write the 3 time ALLstar because no one would read it or care if you had said Eddie Jones? It worked for me.

1998 - where he scored 15 points, grabbed 11 rebounds, dished 1 assist and pinched 2 steals.

Bizzy, you could of thought of a cooler word than 'managed' for his blocks. Like... 'annihilated' or 'sent away'

2 year 4 million dollar contract for a 35 year old oft injured bench player.
Man Cuban loves blowing cash!
Jones probably won't see hardly any minutes as well.

DB5 how many of those players do you expect to get mins George and Stack play a bulk of there mins at SF. Terry and Harris start and see a most of the mins Barea even tho he impressed in the S League wont get many mins same with Ager. Jones should be a solid fit for Dallas just another member of team championship

Yeah Terry and Harris start, Stack and George will back them up, as will Buckner, I think Jones will sit a lot, get maybe 10 mins..
Just another player jumping on board to get a ring.

Hamma, I hate to rain on your parade but the Mavs won't win the title with Dirk "I wish I could Play D" Nowitski.

Jones will play - he will fill the Brent Barry for the Spurs role. Stack will be the Finley type. There is minutes for tehse guys when they choose to go small - they will play Dirk, Howard, Stack, Jones & Terry

I think that Jones will get mins barring injuries ofcourse which is a deffinate possibility with him but having another vet on the bench can do nothing but help Dallas IMO and Bizz you can rain on my preseason parade we will rain on yours come finals next year
