James Jones take on Oden

[Fez Hammersticks]

''For the same people who [say] he's injury-prone, he's fragile, I guarantee you in four or five months those will be the same people clamoring to trade for him or look for him in free agency because they need someone like that to be the cornerstone for their franchise,'' Jones said

Oden said he doesn't listen when people heap him with praise and ''definitely'' doesn't listen when people are critical about him being injury prone and over-hyped.

''I hope I can do something good,'' Oden said. ``I just want to come in and try to fit in on an already good team and try to bring some defense and rebounding to this team.''

The biggest challenge so far? Getting into game-shape, he said.

James Jones is such a pro's pro, man. Loved that guy. Greg is my boy!

James is a guy that I thought was really going to hurt us due to his absence. Granted that we've been pretty good thus far, having him around would have been nice. He was a great vet with a great asset. Luckily, Outlaw's stepped up his three ball and Rudy's proving to be a gem.

The day I saw Rudy hit a few threes in Kobe face in the Olympics was the day I knew we'd be okay without Jones. That said: Jones is a classy classy guy and a great asset to any team.
