It is happening... lots of smoke around it. Tony Jones has said multiple times he wants to come back... it is a super Jazzy move to bring back a guy we love. I'm not sure I want to pay that much for a backup center but I love Favs and the guys all love Favs. Ingles can run pick and roll with the second unit that way. Here are two ways it happens:
1- the best route is we trade Ed, Tony, and 2 second round picks to NO in a sign and trade deal. NO may do it because they are operating over the cap anyway and if Favs wants to leave this gives them some trade fodder for later in the season... TB may have a little trade value (his raw numbers are good)... and they get two second round picks.
2- sign him outright using the MLE and then look to deal TB and Ed using second round picks to teams with space.
3- Sign him outright and say goodbye to JC because we don't have the dough to go into the tax and can't find a home for Ed and TB (it should be doable).
It just feels like its happening.
