Tyus Jones, who has been a key player for the struggling Washington Wizards this season, may not be with the team for much longer. According to Jake Fischer, the Wizards are open to trading Jones for multiple second-round picks. This move would not be surprising, as last year’s trade deadline saw players being dealt for three or even five second-round picks. The Wizards’ willingness to part ways with Jones has caught the attention of rival executives, who believe that Washington will ultimately make the trade.
Before joining the Wizards, Jones played for the Minnesota Timberwolves and the Memphis Grizzlies. While he was mostly a bench player for those teams, his move to Washington gave him the opportunity to be a starting guard and improve his game. Jones has indeed shown improvement in various aspects of his game, but it remains to be seen if he will continue to be a starter if he is traded to another team.
One team that has expressed interest in Jones is the Los Angeles Lakers. They see him as a potential option if they decide to part ways with D’Angelo Russell before the trade deadline. However, even if the Lakers decide not to pursue Jones, there are likely other teams that would be interested in acquiring him.
With the Wizards’ season already lost, they may be looking to shake things up before the upcoming trade deadline. Jones could be one of the players leaving Washington, but he might not be the only one. The team is open to making changes and exploring new options to improve their roster.
