    Why would the F.O feel he's not a fit? Ime's offensive philosophy is moving the ball meaning we would be moving on from the Teen Wolf style of play.
    If that's not the case,I hope Ime takes the entire F.O's wives! All of them.

    Tyus is perfect. Thedude and a couple of other posters have been wanting him for 2 1/2 seasons now. He is unselfish, can shoot, can still play 28+ minutes backing up our guards. He would be cheaper than the Vanvleet.

    When Ja Morant went out and Tyus Jones played more minutes, the Grizzlies actually won MORE. They went 19-4 with him as the starter. If Stone doesn't go for this if he is available, he is INSANE.

    If Tyus is truly available and Stone doesn't get him, he should be fired.

    I've been pushing for Tyus since mid-season. I didn't think Memphis would put him on the trade block tho. Not after Ja's stupidity.

    This guy has a pathetic lifetime average of 6 points a game. Would much rather use Chrisopher or TyTy. You all make this scrub sound like he’s better than Kyrie Irving for heaven’s sake.

    If we could get Tyrus I would want Brandon Miller.

    Over the last 3 seasons,

    Ja Morant as a starter 97 wins, 72 losses = 57% win percentage.

    Tyus Jones as a starter 37 wins, 17 losses = 69% win percentage.

    You gotta look at what Tyus does when he gets his opportunities to start. This is the same reason why I pushed for Jalen Brunson 2 seasons ago. Dive deeper.

    Don’t expect somewhat like that to appreciate guys like tyus. He’s one of those who believe Brunson sucks without Luka crowd. They need to see 20 ppg and they’re good. That’s his logic

    Over the 5 years he averaged about 4.5 assists in 21mpg as a backup guard. Turns the ball over about half of the time compared to out current pg. These are quite impressive.

    I don't really know his game, but if he plays d, he looks like an excellent choice, who might even get a larger role in houston.

    Been wanting to get tyus since he was in the draft.

    This is a no brainer. I know what clutch said but this off season is supposed to be different because the goals are different.

    If hes available and the price is within reason, go get him.

    So he’s better than Morant by that metric? Jalen Green’s record as a starter was 20-50, so would you trade Jalen for Tyus? Seriously doubt that 6 points and a few assists a game was the reason for that record. He may work as a placeholder for an injured player but wouldn’t give much money or assets to the guy. That said, he’s much much better than Nix.

    I love Tyus, but we are not getting him with a looming Morant suspension. I would trade KPJ for him straight up. I have always said this would be a great trade because it would allow KPJ to go back to his natural position.

    This is something you say when you don't watch basketball. It's time to turn on the tv and do your homework.

    I’d rather have Smart than Porzingis, that’s crazy.

    Houston is in good hands as long as they keep their core of Smith/Green/Sengun/Eason

    Everybody else can BOUNCE
