UNANIMOUS RESPECT: While Phoenix Suns owner Robert Sarver downplayed potentially utilizing James Jones as a recruiter in Jones' new front-office role with the team, the former Heat forward clearly has established a rapport with today's elite. If it wasn't LeBron James making sure Jones was alongside with the Cleveland Cavaliers these past three seasons after four season together in Miami, it was Kevin Love posting a heartfelt tribute on Instagram, In the wake of Jones retiring and moving on from Cleveland, Love posted, "Came to work and proved his worth every day. A mentor to me. Someone who understood what it took to win in this league. A difference maker. A true professional. So much to say about Champ . . . man, more than anything I'm gonna miss bouncing ideas off of you and learning from your experience. Best teammate I've ever had and proud to call you one of my best friends."
