Wed Feb 15 2012 | 12:56 | New Orleans Hornets sign Solomon Jones |
Hornets signed F/C Solomon Jones to a 10-day contract. |
Jones will serve as depth on a banged-up Hornets team and not much more than that. He had spent part of this season with the Clippers previously. |

The Hornets will sign F/C Solomon Jones to a 10-day contract on Wednesday, a source tells the New Orleans Times Picayune. |
The Hornets' entire team has been decimated by injury, leaving them with just nine available players on Monday night. Jones will be a backup behind Chris Kaman, Emeka Okafor (knee, day-to-day) and Gustavo Ayon. |

Clippers waived F/C Solomon Jones. |
Jones was not needed now that Kenyon Martin is in the fold, and the team let him go before having to guarantee the rest of his contract this season. He should garner some interest around the league from teams who need depth in the big man department. |

Tue Jan 3 2012 | 14:30 | Clippers sign F/C Solomon Jones |
Updating an item from earlier in the day, the Clippers signed former Pacers' big man Solomon Jones on Tuesday. |
Jones' deal will be a make-good contract, and become final once he passes his physical. The Clips are still waiting on Reggie Evans to get healthy, so Jones may get some run as a back-up big early on, but he won't hold any long-term fantasy value. |

Tue Jan 3 2012 | 08:31 | Clippers set to add Solomon Jones to roster |
The Clippers will reportedly sign Solomon Jones to a non-guaranteed one-year contract on Tuesday. |
The Clippers have been looking for some length off the bench behind DeAndre Jordan. Reggie Evans is hurting, and Jones should see some minutes as a reserve. Regardless, he won't have any fantasy value. |

Mon Dec 13 2010 | 23:53 | Solomon Jones gets 28 minutes |
Solomon Jones got 28 minutes of run on Monday, scoring two points on 1-of-4 shooting with seven rebounds, three assists, two steals, and one block. |
He's just being used to punish Roy Hibbert for his poor play. Even if O'Brien wanted to really punish Hibbert by playing Solo 40 minutes per game, he probably wouldn't have any fantasy value. |
Fri Dec 10 2010 | 10:09 | Pacers, Suns discuss trading big men |
The Pacers have had informal talks about trading Solomon Jones to the Suns in exchange for Earl Clark. |
The move would give Indiana more scoring punch at PF, while saving Phoenix $200,000 and giving them greater frontcourt depth. Even if this happens, it won't have any serious fantasy implications. |

Sat Dec 4 2010 | 04:18 | Solo Jones getting run for Pacers |
Solomon Jones had five points, six rebounds, a steal and two blocks on Friday. |
The Pacers don't have anyone really effective at backing up Roy Hibbert, so Jones is getting some run. Keep an eye on him. |
Tue Nov 23 2010 | 06:06 | Solo gets a career-high 10 rebounds |
Solomon Jones snagged a career-high 10 rebounds on Monday against the Heat, and also chipped in with four points on 2-of-4 shooting, one steal, and one block in 20 minutes off the bench. |
He had nine rebounds on the year entering tonight, and since his rebounds get reported sarcastically on Twitter each time they happen, we're surprised he wasn't a trending topic tonight. Needless to say, he has practically no chance of having fantasy value. |
Mon Nov 8 2010 | 13:14 | Pacers big man Solomon Jones has grabbed mere three rebounds in ... |
Pacers big man Solomon Jones has grabbed a mere three rebounds in 58 minutes of action this season. |
Head coach Jim O'Brien may be ready to use Tyler Hansbrough or Josh McRoberts as the team's backup center if Solo's rebounding doesn't improve soon. A shift in minutes to Hansbrough or McRoberts would be good news from a fantasy perspective, since Jones isn't offering value anyway. |

Thu Oct 28 2010 | 15:43 | Solomon Jones (elbow) out on Friday |
Pacers big man Solomon Jones (elbow) isn't expected to play at Charlotte on Friday. |
Veteran Jeff Foster will backup Roy Hibbert at center in the meantime, though neither Jones nor Foster has fantasy value in average leagues. Consider Solo day-to-day. |

Mon Oct 25 2010 | 10:13 | Pacers have to trim one player today |
The Pacers have 16 players under contract and have been trying to pull off a two-for-one trade to avoid having to cut anyone. |
They only have until 6pm on Monday, but so far haven't had any luck trying to package Dahntay Jones and Solomon Jones. If they don't cut rookie Magnum Rolle his contract will become guaranteed for the season. |
