Probably so, but I am hopeful something can be worked out.

I am guessing Jones has earned a $20M +/- per year deal, & while that is a lot for a backup PG, the reality of Ja’s injury history means Jones would like be a part time starter so there is still value in bringing back at that price.

Just looking at roster & salaries, hopefully Grizz can combine Jones/ SlowMo/ Melton’s 2021 salaries into Jones & the rookie contracts for 2022 & figure out a way to keep Jones.

Problem is Jones wants to be the starter. I'd love to keep him I just don't see how.

You can't blame him and he deserves it. He's the best backup PG in the league.

Not sure about that. They also traded away Melton so that might free up some money. I doubt Chandler will be the back up.

Man I hope not. Chandler for Jones? Ouch. Jones is so good, the Grizz are/were lucky to have him as a backup.

I really like Chandler. He's a good defender, a really good shooter and assist man. The thing I like the most is that he plays with fire which is something you can't teach. Of course, I would still like to keep Tyus. As much as Ja has been out we could use another PG as well.

They almost have to resign Jones. Ja misses too many games for a rookie second round pick to be the backup

How Kennedy Chandler impacts backup point guard plans

Pretty interesting but some BS. If he was high on their list they would have gotten him in the first round and picked Roddy 38.

Most mocks had Roddy well behind Chandler and a few had Chandler above LaRavia. They really seemed to want all 3 players but it was surprising that Chandler fell to 38.

Mock drafts have nothing to do with the Grizzlies draft board. They obviously had Roddy ranked higher.

Mocks, smhocks ... I trust this staff. Something we didn't have with the Wallace staff ...
They rated Roddy pretty highly, so they took it before someone else did.
They noticed folks weren't picking Chandler, and made it happen for themselves.

Well here are some options in Free Agency....some not too bad options...no thanks to Rondo though.

Here are players who Memphis could target if Jones departs:

Dennis Schröder
This would be the flashiest move. Dennis Schroder is two seasons removed from finishing top three in NBA Sixth Man of the Year voting. He signed with the Celtics before last season, and the the pairing struggled to work before he was traded to Houston.

Schroder, 28, is still one of the NBA’s fastest point guards and a pest on defense. He’s also played on and off the ball, which could add versatility alongside Morant or Chandler.


Delon Wright
Delon Wright is a familiar name to Grizzlies fans and offers the biggest boom or bust potential. At 6-foot-5, he has the perfect size to play alongside Chandler and Morant in stretches while also playing on the ball. Wright, 30, backed up Trae Young in Atlanta and averaged 4.4 points and 2.4 assists in 19 minutes.

One of his best games came when he started against the Grizzlies and finished with 18 points, six assists and five steals.


Ricky Rubio
If it wasn’t for a torn ACL suffered in December that ended his season, Ricky Rubio wouldn’t be on this list. Rubio has been a steady starter his entire career until his accepted a sixth man role with the Cleveland Cavaliers. He started eight of 34 games, but his 13.1 points and 6.6 assists in 28.5 minutes was a big reason why Cleveland surprised the NBA with its hot start.

The biggest question mark for the 31-year old Rubio is his health. He’s one of the league’s best passers despite shooting 38.9% for his career.


Rajon Rondo
When Rubio went down in Cleveland, the Cavs called on the ageless Rajon Rondo. His numbers didn’t match Rubio, but the veteran's presence and steadiness to running an offense would be a significant boost for Memphis.

Also, of the Grizzlies' potential targets, Rondo, 36, is the most likely to sign a one-year deal, which could potentially clear the way for Chandler being the full-time backup point guard next season.


Goran Dragic
Fans forget Goran Dragic's upside because of how last season played out. He was traded to the Toronto Raptors and made it clear he didn’t want to be there. His forced exit resulted in playing 16 games with the Brooklyn Nets and 21 total.

Dragic, 36, averaged at least 13 points per game in the previous nine seasons before falling to 7.5 in 2021-22. He’s another player who can play on and off the ball and who can get his own shot.
