Signed! Officially teamed up with Jokic! Rockets miss out on another point guard.

Breaking news king Shams:Tyus Jones has agreed to join the Nuggets.Following this, Nuggets reporter Durando stated that Jones and the Nuggets have reached a minimum salary contract, signed until the end of this season.

According to statistics, the Nuggets' bench lineup averages 6.5 assists per game this season, ranking third worst in the league, only better than the Rockets and Lakers.

During his time with the Mavericks, Jones played eight games, averaging 8.1 assists per 36 minutes with an assist-to-turnover ratio of 6.0, ranking third highest in the entire league during that period.

In summary, the Nuggets' acquisition of Jones addresses a specific need and is certainly not a reckless signing ignoring the team's actual situation.

The problem is that Jones's offensive ability has declined significantly in recent years. This season with the Magic, he averaged 15.7 minutes per game, scoring 3 points, 1.1 rebounds, and 2.4 assists, with shooting percentages of 34.2% and 29.4%. With the Mavericks, he averaged 16.6 minutes per game, contributing 3.9 points, 1.1 rebounds, and 3.8 assists, with shooting percentages of 38.2% and 21.1%.

This player previously averaged double-digit points for three consecutive seasons, with his best season (23-24) recording comprehensive stats of 12 points, 2.7 rebounds, 7.3 assists, and 1.1 steals per game, with shooting percentages of 48.9% and 41.4%.

Jones was born on May 10, 1996, stands 1.83 meters tall with a wingspan of 1.96 meters, and was the 24th overall pick in the first round of the 2015 draft.

It is worth noting that before Jones signed with the Nuggets, it was widely believed that the Rockets would be strong contenders after gaining financial flexibility below the luxury tax line.However, renowned reporter Stein revealed they currently have no plans for any roster reinforcements......

Do the Rockets really intend to have Amen play point guard for the entire season? Or are they very confident that VanVleet, who has a torn right knee ACL, can return this season? Surprisingly, there has been no movement in either the trade market or the buyout market.

So far, the Nuggets are fifth in the West with a 38-24 record, while the Rockets are temporarily third in the West with a 38-22 record, with only a one-game difference between the two teams.
