Jones' last-minute trade to the Wizards meant Paul would definitely be bought out.
The Celtics and Wizards' trade for Porzingis and Brogdon was too tense, and the twists and turns didn't take shape until the last half hour.
There isn't much time left for the Wizards after the Clippers' exit, as only Porzingis can trade player options, and they have no reason to keep Brogdon without a third party joining them.
Fortunately, they contacted the Grizzlies at the last minute, and the Grizzlies did not know which tendon was wrong and were ready to trade their backup point guard Jones.
To know why the Grizzlies without Morant have a better record than the Grizzlies with Morant, it is because their bench Jones is a diligent player who makes passing the ball his first task, and the Grizzlies dislike his lack of scoring ability, so they are obsessed with trading him at the beginning of the offseason.
Now the Wizards get Jones and must stay as a passing master for Kuzma, and the two can be matched for many years.
But that means the Wizards certainly won't choose to keep Paul, and cutting Paul is their only option.
