He seems nice. Really glad we got a backup PG. That was a big need coming into this draft, and I think Tyus Jones will be a great fit!

MINNEAPOLIS (KMSP) -
The Timberwolves acquired Minnesota-native Tyus Jones from the Cleveland Cavaliers for two second-round draft picks.

Jones, 19, was a high school legend at Apple Valley high school and helped Duke win the 2015 NCAA title his freshman season, where he was awardedthe most outstanding player of the Final Four.

"I've been watching him since he was a sophomore in high school," Wolves Head Coach Flip Saunders said.

The Cavaliers chose Jones, the Duke point-guard, with the 24th overall selection. But they shipped Jones to the Wolves for pick Nos. 31 and 36.

He joins No. 1 overall pick Karl-Anthony Towns in Minnesota and will immediately slide in as the backup to starter Ricky Rubio.

I like the Wolves young roster.

Forget Towns. Without Tyus Jones holding it all together, their draft would be nothing.

Because the Wolves identified backup PG as their most critical need this offseason.

I know you're trying to egg me on. But I could give a shit what Minnesota does with him or how much they need him. I only care that the Cavs had a specific need, Jones is a good fit for that need, and they traded him pretty much for nothing.

He's got the hometown appeal of a Joel Przybilla with the added luxury of a franchise that really knows how to draft and develops PGs

Umm... okay. Dr. Exaggeration.

mcaj22 · 06-25-2015, 10:17 PM

what the hell are the Sixers doing. Hinkie realizes you have to field a point guard, shooting guard and small forward that is NBA caliber not just 750 big men right?

Actually, they did identify backup PG as a big need. They were rumored to be looking into trading for Vasquez prior to the draft. They knew that Lavine isn't a PG, and Lorenzo Brown looks like a Somali pirate and plays like a bag of dicks.

Also, when the Cavs get desperate later on, it would be advisable for them to not pay for Mo Williams. He was an abortion of a backup PG when Rubio went down.

I really don't care if Minny needed him or not. They aren't the team that traded him away.

And now you know why I'm pissed about trading Tyus Jones away.

Pitt Gorilla · 06-25-2015, 10:28 PM

Any chance Anthony Bennett can do anything or that they can trade Martin?

I'd personally rather keep Anthony Bennett around instead of Adriean Payne.

Flip's not going to see it that way, though. He'll take a slightly less smelly dog turd instead of the ultra smelly dog turd that might have a diamond ring inside of it

Uh, are you a cavs fan? If Kyrie isn't in the game then they need someone to literally dribble the ball past half court and pass it. Anybody can do that. Plus, with the money they won't be spending on Kevin Love they can find someone to do that 10-15 minute backup just fine.

Uhh... they tried that with Dellavadova last year and it was a complete abortion. They desperately need a backup PG. It is by a mile their #1 need.

Even if the Cavs don't keep Love (and they probably will) the Cavs don't have money to throw around. The only reason they can afford to keep Love is because they have his bird rights. Their next best option is to trade Haywood for a PG which will annihilate their 2016 luxury tax.
