>The Wizards are obviously open for business, with credible reports about talks for Kyle Kuzma, Daniel Gafford (a popular name among teams looking for backup center help) and to a lesser extent Deni Avdija.
>But the name with the most interest and player most likely to be traded is point guard Tyus Jones. Jones is on a $14 million expiring contract, and last summer, sources said he was looking for “starter money” wherever he wound up. But most teams are specifically interested in his value as a reserve.
>The Wizards’ offer threshold continues to stay at a first-rounder. The Minnesota Timberwolves, two sources said, offered four second-rounders for Jones, but Washington held the line. The Timberwolves have big point guard decisions coming up with Mike Conley becoming a free agent this summer at age 36.
>Jones would be a perfect fit for Minnesota as a backup, but is he ready to return to Minnesota, and will they want him to take the reins as their starter? Jones’ free agency preferences will influence any trade in a big way.
While I appreciate draft capital, a trillion 2nds just ain’t it.
It’s not the NFL, the NBA barely ever hits on 2nd round picks. When’s the last time the wizards did? Remember Issuf Sannon? Lmao
Wolves fan here. Just wanted to say one of the 2nd we have is from Memphis this year (37th currently) which is not drastically different from our 1st (29th currently). However, if I was to guess, I’d probably bet on Tyus going to the Knicks – they clearly need a backup PG since they are playing Flynn, and they have a lot of 1st that are not theirs, like Milwaukee 2025.
Would Tommy have bit on these second round packages ? maybe that’s the new difference.
4?! Idk that’s pretty good value
HOOOOOOOOOOOLD
Nooo they need 8 bazillion second round picks to stock the X league roster.
