On Aug. 18, Dallas announced it had signed Jones, the team’s final addition to the roster, at a one-year league minimum deal worth about $2 million. It wasn’t until preseason began that Kidd realized what he had with Jones. In the second exhibition game, Kidd started Jones. He stayed with the first unit virtually all season, starting 66 of his 76 games. “What I saw was his ability to guard,” Kidd said. “It was way before we signed him. I saw him up close in different (games) and always thought, ‘Man, it’d be nice if we could get him on our side.’” -via New York Times / May 15, 2024
