I'd be cool with Deron Williams for the minimum for a spot up shooter. He shot almost 42% from 3 for the Cavs in the regular season when his role was diminished. Play him next to Butler most of his time on the court and he could be very effective. He seems to be a very effective role player who loses value the more he has to do at this stage in his career.

Interesting article about Tyus with some possibly worthwhile synergy stats.

I'm happy with Tyus as our backup PG. I like his game. Plays to his strengths. For 12 - 16 minutes a night he's all we need. The issue would be if Teague gets injured.

I'm cool with Jones as the backup. I think he could thrive a bit.
The Wolves have several capable scorers. They don't necessarily have a guy more than willing to give it up to let others "get theirs"... in that way, Jones could give the Wolves one important element they gave up when Rubio was shipped out.
Team chemistry remains an important part of basketball that remains overlooked too often. We know so many Wolves know how to play. We don't know how well they'll play together yet.
