Tyus Jones Expected To Be Starting Point Guard For Phoenix Suns

According to multiple reports, in a bombshell Saturday afternoon signing, the Phoenix Suns have signed Tyus Jones to a one-year deal worth $3.3 million. This has solidified who their starting point guard will be.

Many speculated on if Monte Morris would be leading the group or running it back with either Bradley Beal or Devin Booker. However, general manager James Jones and owner Mat Ishbia has landed a solid piece to run the floor.

Per Arizona Sports’ John Gambadoro, Jones chose Phoenix over the Memphis Grizzlies and Atlanta Hawks. Two teams where he could have gotten more money from. It should be noted that with Jones signing, Grayson Allen will be moved to the bench and Booker most likely playing small forward.

Unofficial starting lineups have come out featuring Jones (PG), Beal (SG), Booker (SF), Kevin Durant (PF), and Jusuf Nukic (C). It is unknown if head coach Mike Budenholzer will have it this way, but, for the time being, this is what fans can picture in their brains until official word comes out.

According to Houston Rockets’ head coach Ime Udoka, with Dorian Finney-Smith still recovering from offseason ankle surgery, he is set to miss the season opener on October 21st. They will be facing the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Udoka said he has no timetable of when the 32-year-old will be back, as they will be cautious and not rushing him back into the swing of things.

“No, probably not,” Ime Udoka said when asked if Finney-Smith would be ready for the opener.

Finney-Smith recently signed a four-year, $53 million contract with Houston earlier in the summer.

According to ESPN’s Shams Charania, like the Al Horford scenario, two players have verbally committed to playing for the Golden State Warriors.

Golden State got confirmation from Gary Payton II and De’Anthony Melton that they both will be on the Warriors’ roster for the upcoming season. This is shortly after Horford committed to a multi-year deal.

Payton will be returning to the Warriors for his sixth-straight season, with Melton returning for his second season. His first run didn’t go so well due to him tearing his ACL mid-November.

These signings will be official once the Jonathan Kuminga situation is resolved. The deadline for Kuminga to sign his qualifying offer is October 1st.
