Good pick up. Reminds of the same energy Javele gives, but he's younger and have worked on expanding his game beyond the 3 point

I’d say it differently because he didn’t leave on his own. He wasn’t offered a contract even though his skills were needed. Letting him go was a bone headed move.

his college scouting still applies. doesn't sustain intensity. often doesn't play to his ability. often disappears from games. poor rebounder

I hope not!

I’m hoping this is just the first of multiple Cs signed. Anything to keep Davis able and to roam and play to his strengths.

Jones is a start. Not great, but options are limited.

Go get Tristan Thompson, Gallo, and Danuel House with minimums. Although House is probably BAE level.

Then Kyrie via Russ trade and Gary Harris for tMLE

Jones, TT
AD, Gallo, Gabriel
LeBron, House, Stanley
Harris, Reaves, Max
Kyrie, Nunn

Jones was a solid start if it's for minimum.
