Per the report, the Grizzlies would use most of
their mid-level exception on Jones, if the Timberwolves do not
match the deal. They have two days to do so.
According to ESPN, matching the deal would take Minnesota within
$1 million of the luxury tax.
The Timberwolves previously tendered Jones a qualifying offer
worth $3.57 million for 2019-20. He made $6.5 million over his
first four seasons in the league.
Jones, 23, was the 24th overall pick in the 2015 draft by
Cleveland, who dealt him to Minnesota for two second-round picks
on draft night. He averaged 6.9 points and 4.8 assists, both
career highs, in 68 games (23 starts) last season.
Through four seasons, Jones has career averages of 5.1 points
and 3.3 assists in 247 games (34 starts).
