Phoenix, AZ (Basketball News) - The Phoenix Suns completed their draft-day deal with the Portland Trail Blazers on Wednesday, sending forward James Jones to Portland.

Jones was dealt along with the 24th overall selection in the June 28 draft, which was used by Portland to select Spanish guard Rudy Fernandez, in exchange for cash considerations.

Jones, a four-year veteran, averaged 6.4 points and 2.3 points in 76 games for the Suns last season. He came to Phoenix in a sign-and-trade deal from the Indiana Pacers in 2005, and has averaged 6.7 points and 2.6 rebounds per game over his career.
