In the early hours of free agency, the Spurs did what was expected and retained Tre Jones. The young point guard will be back in San Antonio on a two-year, $20 million contract.
It’s not a surprise that Jones is staying with the team that drafted him. After a slow first year in which he didn’t get much run, he became a key member of the rotation as a sophomore before taking over the starting point guard spot in his third year. The former second-rounder did well under less-than-ideal circumstances as the Spurs pivoted to a rebuild and completely changed their offense as the veteran scorers left.
