Looked to take the day off. Then Tyus Jones happened.
Writing breakdown of this move right now. I’ve been saying Jones would be an ideal fit with the Phoenix Suns as far back as when they had Chris Paul.
Could’ve been his backup, then replacement, but Suns have him now. #Suns pic.twitter.com/sh6AAvgCdZ – 6:17 PM

Tyus Jones is incredible value on the minimum and will fix some of the Suns’ flaws.
The signing also increases the concerns surrounding some of their other flaws: arizonasports.com/story/3552270/… – 6:00 PM

My guess (and truly, a guess) is the biggest impediment for the Lakers getting Tyus Jones wasn’t a lack of roster spots, but the better opportunity to reestablish market value in PHX. He’s likely to start, and the Suns’ overall backcourt depth is way thinner than in L.A. AK – 5:19 PM

Just when you think you’re getting quite good at evaluating NBA player value, Tyus Jones goes and signs for the minimum. – 4:56 PM

We’ve had very good players sign for the minimum before, but they’re almost always a) old, b) hurt or c) dealing with some off-court issue.
Gary Trent and Tyus Jones are both healthy, in their primes and have skill sets that any team could use. These are not minimum players. – 4:12 PM

The Tyus Jones signing technically could cost Phoenix nothing this season.
Here is why:
– Jones cap hit is $2.1M
– Savings in the Liddell/Roddy swap: $700K
– 2024-25 savings if Liddell is stretched: $1.4M – 4:11 PM

With Tyus Jones and Monte Morris, the Suns now have the two best players in assist-to-turnover ratio running their offense.
Scoring will be a lot easier for Kevin Durant, Devin Booker and Bradley Beal with two smart playmakers always on the floor setting them up. pic.twitter.com/q8Ct98LsM4 – 4:09 PM

The Suns are interested in signing Tyus Jones, per @Gambo987.
If Jones is willing to take a prove-it deal on the veteran’s minimum, Phoenix would offer a large spot in their rotation. pic.twitter.com/hluQdjRMSl – 12:42 PM

Barry Jackson: While Tyus Jones ultimately took 3.3 M with Suns, Heat couldn’t do that and stay under 2nd apron. They could have not signed Love or Bryant and hoped that a player like Jones would have to take well under market later, but they valued Love and Bryant. Heat inquired about Jones before acquiring Rozier -via Twitter @flasportsbuzz / July 27, 2024
