Portland Really Isn't Done

As I prepared to attempt to parse Nate McMillan's new roster, Henry Abbott posts this scoop at TrueHoop:
Kevin Pritchard told the Portland media last night that the team has essentially completed another trade that can not be announced owing to league restrictions.

"I'm probably getting fined already," he says, in press conference audio on Oregonlive.

For Portland, Pritchard says the move will bring a small forward.
Abbott also points to this post by Blazers employee Mike Barrett which has James Jones (a small forward) heading to Portland in conjunction with the Rudy Fernandez pickup.

So is Channing Frye or Petteri Koponen or another Blazer headed back to Phoenix? Is Jones the small forward Pritchard refers to, or is there another one he's seeking?

With something like 17 players by my count under contract, Portland's got to keep wheeling. I'd venture to say Pritchard's trying to spring Darius Miles by packaging him with some of these youngsters.
