In what was apparently a joint decision, the Dallas Mavericks have waived former Duke point guard Tyus Jones.
For the Mavericks, it opens up a path to sign rookie Ryan Nembhard. The Gonzaga product was on a two-way and has exceeded expectations.
As for Jones, he would like to be on a playoff team. If things go well, he’ll end up on a solid team with reasonable postseason prospects. He’s a very reliable point guard and was a superb backup earlier in his career.
He’s been in the NBA for 11 years now and at some point, everyone ages out. When he does, he’s someone who you’d think would have a future in coaching. His basketball IQ is off the charts.
