Article: Estimating Tre Jones' Next Contract

[BatManu20]

Looks like Sochan and Devin Vassell are in Minnesota for Tre’s wedding tomorrow. Wonder if any other current or former Spurs were invited tbh.

We know, how much tho

[Russ]

Why not just wait for an offer from another team to Tre and match (if it makes sense) and pay accordingly if he doesn't get any offers.

What is the market for Tre Jones outside 210? Is there any? This might be a good way to find out.

ESPN has him between $10-12m, tied for 5th highest PG in free agency:

then just wait until he gets an offer sheet. otherwise play him out on his tender tbh

unless he signs a 3 year deal with last year being club option

[kobyz]

to give him 10 mil is crazy to me

[duncan2150]

Nice

[Kurik]

Good deal

[spurraider21]

I wouldn’t want him at 10 per. If he were a FA from another team i can’t imagine us wanting to sign him to that kind of money. RFA tender. If he wants 10 per I’d only consider it on a 2 year deal with a club option tbh. I think he's like a 3/21 type player tbh. absolutely dont see good teams thinking "this guy is worth using all or most of our MLE on"

well... i wanted 2/20 with a club option, but looks like its just 2/20 regardless.

i had him pegged at 3/21, and jevon carter signed for 3/19. i figured those two were valued a little more closely

[timvp]

That said, that doesn’t change what I think will happen in free agency. I expect Jones to re-sign. A four-year, $40 million contract or a two-year, $20 million contract sounds about right.

Nice, IMO.

Two years is absolutely perfect

[RC_Drunkford]

again Spurstalk evaluated his contract at exactly that number. Give yourselves some credit

[Ariel]

Ok, I wasn't too far off:

That Hollinger number is just crazy, no way he gets more than Tyus. He's a future backup, which is nice to have but you can replace him fairly cheap. 10M per year sounds more like it and even then, 4 years also seems like a lot, I'd do 3 years 30M otherwise just let him walk and send a couple second rounders to Washington for Tyus and be done with it.

Tyus Jones didn't get that, which team is going to give Tre that much when he can't shoot from 3? Also, if the Spurs are going to overpay to not disrupt team chemistry, make it a 2 year deal, team option 3rd, or you might be shooting yourself in the foot for '25 free agency (the Spurs could be big time players).

All in all, considering the madness we're seeing elsewhere, this feels like a solid compromise where:
1) Tre gets paid well according to his status (starter on a Spurs team but backup elsewhere)
2) The length is just right in that it aligns with '25 free agency thus not harming the Spurs long term, while it also gives Tre 2 years to prove he's a full time starter period (not just on a tanking team) and deserves to be paid as such.
Fair for both parties.
