Tre Jones Re-Signs With Bulls on a New 3-Year Deal

After getting traded from San Antonio last season in the De’Aaron Fox Trade, Tre Jones had solid production for the Bulls. On Monday Night, Tre Jones and the Bulls agreed to a 3-year, $24M deal, according to Shams Charania. With the Bulls’ recent trade of Lonzo Ball to Cleveland before free agency, the need for the backup point guard spot was there, and now the answer to that question has arisen in Jones. Here’s what Jones brings to the table for the Bulls moving forward. 

Tre Jones Stats and Skillset

Jones averaged 7.2 points per game, 2.5 rebounds per game, and 4.2 assists per game throughout the regular season. However, when he was traded to the Bulls, he averaged 11.5 points per game and 4.5 assists while shooting 57.2% from the field before a sprained left foot in March ended his 24-25 season. The Lonzo Ball trade opens the Backup point guard spot, and Jones is the perfect fit in their youth movement, as he is only 25 years old. 

This is the right move as he will also bring a lot of stability and leadership off the bench, as he learned from the GOAT Gregg Poppivich for a long time in San Antonio. So we are keeping an eye on how the Bulls look moving forward in an evolving Eastern Conference, thanks to key injuries to star players. 

Final Thoughts

Tre Jones and the Bulls are going to continue this marriage, and it will work very well for them in the long run. He will bring good playmaking and great efficiency scoring in his role with the Bulls, as this should continue the trend he was showing from last season, during the Bulls’ injuries last season. The Ball trade opens this opportunity even more for Tre and a couple of other guys.
