Only get a base salary contract from the Lone Ranger! The former Bulls striker suffered another loss!
According to Hoops Rumors reporter Dana Gauruder, Derrick Jones, a striker who signed with the Dallas Mavericks, received a veteran base salary contract, his total salary in the new season is about $2.71 million, after signing Jones, the total salary of the Lone Ranger will increase by $2.02 million, and the rest of the salary will not be included in the salary cap and will be provided by the NBA league.
Born in February 1997, Jones is 26 years old, 198cm tall and weighs 95kg, and is a very athletic striker. Jones played for the Chicago Bulls last season, and he didn't do particularly well with the Bulls, playing a total of 64 regular season appearances for the team, averaging 14 minutes per game, averaging 5 points, 2.4 rebounds, 0.5 assists, 0.5 steals and 0.6 blocks while shooting 50% from the field, 33.8% from three-point range and 73.8% from the free-throw line. Compared to previous seasons, Jones' overall performance was very average and lacked enough highlights, which was also reflected in his playing time.
Notably, Jones' contract with the Bulls wasn't supposed to expire until next summer, and his contract for the new season would actually be $3.3 million. Due to his poor performance last season, he thought he would execute his contract this summer and stay with the Bulls, but he unexpectedly chose to jump out of his contract and become a full free agent. As a result, Jones' market in the free market was a mess, and it was almost two months before the free market opened that he barely got a base salary contract, which is indeed a bit speechless.
I don't know if Jones can improve in the NBA season in the new season, prove his strength, and secure a bigger contract for himself next summer.
