5 Moves Wizards should make after re-signing Kyle Kuzma
By Tyler Watts
1. Explore the market for Tyus Jones
Jones wants to be a starting point guard, and he will get that chance in Washington. He has been considered one of the best backups in the league for years, and Jones has thrived when filling because of injury. He finally gets his chance to lead a team, but it may not last long.
Jones is entering the final year of his contract and is set to make $14 million next season. He is not extension-eligible, so the 27-year-old will become an unrestricted free agent in 2024. Jones has value, and the Wizards do not want to lose him without getting something in return.
Expect Washington to constantly gauge the market for Tyus Jones throughout season. Can they get a team that is willing to give up a first-round pick for the skilled point guard? Jones could break out in an expanded role and significantly increase his trade value. This is something for Wizards fans to watch closely this season.
What will the Washington Wizards do next? They are just beginning a rebuild, so any move is on the table. They will have Kyle Kuzma, but who else? Stay tuned to see how they round out their roster for next season and if they can acquire more draft capital.
