TRADE: Tyus Jones to DAL | Branham to CHA

[KillerLeft]

I expect Tyus Jones to start. This was a Kidd move. He's not a playoff caliber starter but this isn't a playoff team. We're talking about running a team the right way and not making rookie mistakes. Flagg deserves it. Same with Middleton. He'll be great for development. No way they turn this into a shit show and frustrate everyone. Flagg needs to continue to sharpen his mental axe. The vets will play, for sure. Bagley will backup Gafford.

AJJ might see Hardy-type minutes. The Mavs know what they have there. He has potential but obviously needs time.

Agree on Jones starting. Same page there. 

I'll be SHOCKED if Middleton isn't bought out. I doubt he ever reports, even.

What I think this Jones trade (might) portend is that it has suddenly become more important for Cisse to be converted to a real contract than Nembhard, but we'll see.
