The San Antonio Spurs need playmaking help. Tre Jones is solid, but if the Spurs want to take the next step, they should be looking to add at the point guard position. Greg Swartz of Bleacher Report listed Washington Wizards guard Tyus Jones as the “dream” free agency target for the Spurs.
“The San Antonio Spurs need a franchise point guard and figure to use either the No. 4 or No. 8 overall pick in the 2024 NBA draft on one,” Swartz wrote. “However, it’s unclear whether that player will be able to run the team right away, so San Antonio should have a bridge plan in place. Signing Tyus Jones to play with his brother, Tre, would make a lot of sense. The older Jones was a solid starter with the Washington Wizards this past season and would be an upgrade over his brother in the Spurs’ starting lineup.
“San Antonio ranked 24th in turnover rate (14.8 percent) this past season. As the Wizards’ primary ball-handler, Jones had a turnover rate of only 8.8 percent, which was far below the Spurs’ mark as a team. With up to $21.3 million in cap space, the Spurs could offer Jones more than the $12.9 million non-taxpayer MLE. That might give them a leg up on most other suitors.”
Bringing in Tre’s brother would be a great addition for the Spurs.
