Tre Jones blossoms into player Timberwolves would target in trade talks
- This past week Tre Jones, Chicago Bulls guard, has emerged as a target Minnesota Timberwolves have been linked to with NBA trade deadline a little over a week away.
- Chicago's roster construction, stocked at guard, has created sell-off pressure at the deadline, as the Chicago Bulls juggle seven players headed for free agency and prioritize future draft picks.
- Over his last 18 games, Jones averaged 12.3 points and 6.8 assists while shooting 39%, with a Jan. 20 performance of 15-10-8 and a two-day-prior 10-10 game illustrating his two-way value.
- The Bulls value Jones' contract and role, making any trade conditional on impressive compensation due to his three-year, $24 million deal and strong-value status.
- As a locally developed two-way guard, Tre Jones presents both fit and fan appeal for the Timberwolves, addressing Minnesota Timberwolves' point-guard need with a role like Nickeil Alexander-Walker.

The Bulls defy reporting because they defy logic
The Bulls have not always been run this incompetently, but through multiple front office regimes they have historically been run with an emphasis on secrecy. They’d prefer nobody covered them at all, as patrons are getting their reliable dinner theater and fans who aren’t spending money on the team are not worth engaging.
