More opinions on Jones/Motiejunas

From the forums, thejohnnygold:

Here’s something to consider when valuing Jones. Where does he rank at his position? I don’t just mean based on PER, or RAPM, or other such things. Simply, if we ranked the league’s power forwards where would Jones fall? After that, determining his value and how easily he could be replaced dictates how much we should reasonably pay for his services. I mean, Earl Clark is just sitting out there right now. Is Clark that much worse than Jones? Would we be better with Clark for $1-$2M or Jones at $15M?

I can’t think of a starting PF in the league I wouldn’t take over Jones at $15M and there are quite a few back-ups I would take in lieu of paying Jones that much…
